A STAIN FIGHTING SUPERHERO
Dear SHI**Y cloth diapers,
You are no longer a match to me. I ditched the harsh bleach, the obnoxious liquid laundry detergents, the softeners, the scents. I have a potion that will rock the socks, rags, & greasy work jeans right along with ya. And it does a dang fine job too.
Sincerely,
~A mom + her Superhero laundry soap
I’ve used cloth diapers (not full time) on both of our kids for the penny saving aspect but trust me it’s not a sunshine and roses type of gig. You spend half of your day with your arm in a toilet, hows that for a glammer shot. Cloth diapers weren’t the problem, cleaning them was. I tried many different detergents, and all of them made our kids break out with rashes along their inner thighs and bottoms. Pinterest here I come! Many mommy blogs stated the same scenario and how they started making their own soaps. After trying a half dozen combos, this one finally fits its purpose to clean both the babies diapers and our farm duds. Hope it serves you well!
