Rock a soak

pumpkinpie · 08-11-2010, 10:53 PM

Has anybody tried this on their cloth diapers? When we started we were using the Rockin' Green soap and really liked it. Couldn't get it again so we tried Charlies and got a mean case of the stinkies. We've tried bleaching, extra hot water washes and are now trying the BumGenius spray but it's going fast and is expensive.

There are lots of success stories online but I thought I'd see if there were any here. Or if anyone else has had the same problem. I'm going to get a bag of Rockin' Green tomorrow and try it.

I use RnG now

I rock a soak every month or so and haven't had any stinkies yet......

Thanks! Good to know! How long do you let them soak? I was going to try overnight the first time. I'm a little scared to see what comes out of them haha

I do soak them overnight. Then, I run a load as usual in the morning. No detergent in the morning load.

Perfect! Here's hoping!

And if this works I'll have a half bag of Charlies up for grabs.

LOL. Where do you buy your RnG from? And how much does it cost?

Cheeky Monkey and it's about $20 for a bag I think. I can let you know for sure when I get some tomorrow

K, thanks.

So I got my RnG yesterday (It's $19.95 at Cheeky Monkey) and soaked my diapers last night. They feel softer today. The liners are much softer!! I was expecting some gunkies in the tub like all the pictures I saw online. I was a little scared of what it was going to look like but DH said there was no gunk in the water when he took them out this morning (I slept in haha).

There has been no smell from any of our diapers today. I'm hoping that switching back to RnG will prevent any future stinkies

Yay! I am washing mine in it right now

I tried it last night to (for the first time), they are in the dryer at the moment. I can't wait to see if it has solved our stinky issue!

It's a party!!! haha

Good luck melmyster! I hate the stinkies!! I've resolved to only use RnG from now on!
