I just made a new batch last week using Dr. Bronner's Lavender Castile Soap (2c. soda, 2c. borax, 1 bar Bronner's) and I LOVE it. I actually feel for the first time like clothes are getting clean. I'm using it on the diapers now with no ill effects so far...

I also do cloth diapers for my kids and so far have just been using tide free which I also use on their clothes but I would like something that is better on their little booties!<br /><br />Also, I found your blog by following your link on Like Mother, Like Daughter!~ Love that blog too.

It takes a really big pot and kind of stinks...But if it works in powder form, I might be willing to give it a go again.
