The most important thing when you cloth diaper is to know what detergent to use. Wrong detergent selection can cause sleepless nights, leaking episodes and terrible head-splitting ammonia smell!
On the other hand, the main reason I cloth diaper is to save money. So I do not really see the point of spending hundreds on detergent for cloth diapers. If you have the budgets, by all means, there are a lot of imported cloth diaper detergents out there namely Rocking Green, Country Save , Tiny Bubbles and Bumgenius which you can try. But in this post, I will only comment on the detergents that I have personally use.
Detergent for cloth diapers must be enzyme free, softener free, perfume free, phosphate free and bleach free as these additives can cause damage to your diapers and shorten their lifespan. So remember, you cannot use Dynamo / Attack / Pureen ABD / Nappikleen ( just to mention a few famous brands) for your diapers.
1. The first detergent that I use was the plain Trojan ( hoho so cheapskate!). It is cheap, widely available in all Malaysian supermarkets and safe. I had no problem with Trojan, just thought that I would experiment with other brands :).
2. Next, I used Might Detergent. Available in most online store, it costs around RM 12- RM15. It has a slight coconutty smell after wash, but I think it cleanse well. Lasts reaaaalllly long, it took me about 6 months to finish one box doing daily laundry.
3. Past 3 months , I have been using Lunacare. You can buy it at RM 19 at Lunatots store / online store. My first impression was, the box is so small! Comparing it to Alicafe coffee can ....
Then I thought that the instructions are not too clear, as my washing machine doesn't state how much liter of water it uses per cycle. Plus I do not really know how much my diapers weigh, so I just put half a scoop for each wash. So far , the diapers smell clean :)
I like that they give free scoop inside though. The powder however is much finer than Might Detergent.
4. Sometimes, I use Kiddiewash from Cosway. Available at Cosway stores, it costs around RM 9 per bottle ( can get it cheaper if you buy more than 1 bottle). I like the afterwash smell. But I am a bit skeptical with its anti- bacterial action. Usually, this means it has enzyme in it. Some mothers also claimed that this detergent causes fast buildup. I am not too sure about this.
Malaysia's favourite detergent for CD apparently is Pureen HAD. Sadly, staying in small town like Teluk Intan, I am afraid it is not available here.
