Good as new!<br /><br />To boost the cleanliness of EXTRA stinky ones, I will rock a second soak and add about a cup or so of bleach and about half the amount of rockin green. I don't do this modified soak overnight, just a few hours. You can tell by looking at them when they're done... the bleach works wonders. (Be careful not to overdo it on bleach though because it puts a little wear and tear on your inserts.) Now that my son is a toddler and his poops are the real deal, sometimes this is necessary though.<br /><br />Also, letting them hang out in the washing machine (hot soak) with a scoop of rockin green is a really good pre treatment (as others have mentioned)<br /><br />Good luck cloth diapering mommas, and keep up the good work!

(and the vinegar smell does not linger in the clothing).<br /><br />we save a LOT of money this way. you also don't need fabric softener if you use white vinegar. it has a softening effect. we live in the arid desert and have no static issues.adamswifeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031689157903415223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-73754552644779077832011-03-31T22:33:19.661-04:002011-03-31T22:33:19.661-04:00I just did a soak today in the sink. since we have...I just did a soak today in the sink. since we have a front loader.

I use Charlie's Soap powder (not opposed to RnG, but a friend gave me a big tub of Charlie's for my baby shower so that's what I've got currently).Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923283245460039075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-25828650138449106982011-03-31T20:58:13.731-04:002011-03-31T20:58:13.731-04:00I was so happy when I tried Rockin Green, and the ...I was so happy when I tried Rockin Green, and the Funk Rock was awesome! I'd had to give up bleaching my inserts as it was not kind to my septic system, and Bac Out would clean my diapers but irritate baby bottoms. After 3 years of struggling to make my top-loading machine clean diapers properly, Rockin Green out-performed all the other diaper detergents I'd tried. So easy and so effective!!Kristinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-62662745172007824052011-03-31T20:54:09.962-04:002011-03-31T20:54:09.962-04:00I want to do the ammonia soak but I'm in singa...I want to do the ammonia soak but I'm in singapore. is there anyone over here who sells it?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14646178772882717555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-87435148794295803272011-03-31T15:06:21.510-04:002011-03-31T15:06:21.510-04:00Thank you!

A cold rinse, then a hot soak for an hour or so and OMG the junk that appeared in my water! I did another hot rinse and a cold rinse and checked the water after - crystal clear!<br /><br />I may actually start doing a quick soak before each wash - just rinse them, fill up with hot and some RnG and let them hang for a bit before starting the cycle...Lindsayhttp://alittlekloep.comnoreply@blogger.com
