Diaper Detergent

I have been asked the question a lot about what I wash my cloth diapers with. When I tell them that I make my own detergent a lot of people ask for the recipe. I got the recipe off the Internet, I can't remember where, so forgive me if you are the one who posted this and I didn't give you the credit.

Washing diapers is easy if you only breastfeed your baby then you do not need to rinse of the breast milk poo in the toilet, it is water soluble and therefore, will dissolve in the washing machine. If your little one is on solids then rinse off the poo in the toilet and then wash.

I do a cold rinse first with 2 TBSP of detergent then a hot wash with a second rinse.

This makes a very large batch, but there will be no leftovers (I make mine in a leftover cat litter tub with a lid.

3 boxes (55 oz each) of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (I use the Pure Baking Soda because it is less harsh)
2 boxes (76 oz each) of 20 Mule Team Borax
1 Large (96 oz) tub of Oxiclean

I also use this detergent to wash my clothes.


What do you wash your diapers with?

Cloth Diapers




When I told my family I was going to cloth diaper my daughter they thought it was pretty cool, that was until I told them I was going to wash the diapers myself and not use a diaper service. You see, like most people who wrinkle their noses at cloth diapering, they automatically thought diaper cloths, pins, and covers. They had no idea about the many different styles and colors that are available today. They not only save money in the long run but they are so cute and easy to coordinate with different outfits.

Right now my diaper stash is made up of a variety of fitteds, One Size pockets, Sized pockets, and AIO. Each of them I like for different reasons.





My husbands favorite type and I would have to agree with him are the pockets or AIO's with snaps, they seem to fit our "Skinny Minnie" the best.

If you are confused by some of they diapering lingo a great website to check out is Jillian Drawers . Feel free to ask any questions if you have any.

What is your favorite diaper in your stash?
