The No Stink, No Complications Laundry Solution!

[D&MsMommy]

Just out of curiosity.. are my boys the only ones sensitive to Tide? I always see others having success with Tide, so I tried it out a few months back. I rinsed the heck out of the diapers since I could smell the fragrance so strongly still. My boys are REALLY sensitive to a lot of things, so I wasn't surprised when the Tide gave them a horrible rash.

When I opened the box of Tide I could smell the rashes forming. We use a very mild detergent and it works beautifully for us.

When I read this sort of stuff I am always glad that we did no laundry research ahead of time and just sorta fell into washing prefolds in hot.

My kids have very, very sensitive skin and mild eczema but do fine with Tide Free. The fragrance in regular Tide gives me a migraine.

Nope, you're not the only one. I quit using Tide in college because my roommate had horrible reactions to it. Landed her in the hospital on more than one occasion. We shared towels and clothes so I quit using Tide on my stuff and never went back.

I'm pretty new to CD (4 months in) and I've been using Ruby Moon detergent because I was a "brain-washed" newbie. It's been working great for us so far...no rashes, no stinkies, no ammonia...NO PROBLEMS.

I am thrilled to read this thread though because I have heard of the dreaded toddler pee and am so glad to know I won't have to run circles around myself if I ever end up with problems. I'll just try my normal detergent (Method Free & Clear) before I spend any extra money on anything else! DUH!!!
