Are soapnuts good for washing cloth diapers?

Absolutely! In fact, if you are currently using a commercial detergent on your cloth diapers, you are using more diapers than necessary! Here’s why: each time you wash a cloth diaper in commercial detergent, the fabric becomes more and more clogged. (Commercial detergents leave a residue on the diaper, as they don’t rinse completely). This residue can cause loss of absorbancy and even diaper rash in little ones with sensitive skin.

That’s why soapnuts are an ideal solution for washing cloth diapers:

  • Soapnuts are all natural, and contain no harsh chemicals that will irritate your baby’s skin and cause diaper rash
  • Soapnuts naturally soften and add body to laundry — without “clogging up” the fibers of the diapers. In fact, soapnuts will ’strip’ the diaper of build-up caused by commercial detergents, and *increase* the diaper’s absorbency!
  • Soapnuts gently and effectively eliminate ALL lingering smells. If you like your laundry to have a scent, consider using our Baby Powder fragrant oil for an added baby scent “boost.”
