Rockin' Green Detergent Reveiw

This week I am declaring
DIRTY DIAPER WEEK!
Sounds exciting right? Trust me it won't stink! haha Sorry, I had to say it.
Keep an eye out all week long for great tips on stripping diapers, different kinds of detergents that are cloth friendly and much more!


ROCKIN' GREEN sent me three sample packs of their detergent to use and try out. Now let me say I was pretty excited about this because I had seen some major soaks going on at other blogs where the water is black after an overnight stay with the detergent in a tub full of hot water. So of course I had to try it out...

So I poured half the pack into my tub with HOT water to get ready for my big soaking experience.
Ohhhh bubbles, and the clear water.
Almost every single one of my diapers in my tub. I had some prefolds out to use while rockin' away.
The water afterwords...I was expecting more I guess. But then again maybe this was a good sign that I am doing the right stuff to take care of my diapers because the water wasn't gross. It is still pretty dingy though.
Here are some FAQ's Rockin' Green has answered on their site about their detergent:

Rockin’ Green comes in several different formulas- so there is something for everyone!
* Soft - this formula is designed for those that have sensitive little ones or soft water.
* Classic - this is the original formula, and is great for those with moderate hard water, or just those that are battling with stinkies. Comes in unscented and scented varieties.
* Hard - This formula is designed for the most troubling of water types.

All Rockin’ Green formulas are designed with the same great ingredients, and work for all water types. Most people do great with the Classic formula, so when in doubt start off with that formula.


Ingredients

Rockin’ Green is made of safe, phosphate free ingredients which makes it good for the planet and gentler on your little ones. Everything is made with love, and put to the test every single day on my own families diapers and laundry. So you know that I expect only the best from everything that I send out the door.

Ingredients: sodium carbonate , sodium percarbonate, natural chelating agents, sodium sulfate, biodegradable surfactants, natural fragrance oils (if scented is chosen)

Please take great care to keep Rockin’ Green away from pets and children.

My Experiences with this product:
-I only received three sample packs to test out so I only got 5 washes and 1 soak out of the packs. It kind of makes it hard to really get a good test run but over all I enjoyed using it.
-I couldn't really smell the 'flavors' of the detergent but I think if you use it full time you would be able to smell it better.
-I liked doing the soak and seeing how much funky stuff came off of them.
-I like that they offer this detergent for different types of water (hard, soft or regular)

Rockin' Green also comes in some awesome scents like Orangevana, The Green Tea's, Rage against the Raspberries, and Smashing Watermelons. Sounds yummy right! I got the Raspberry, watermelon and Motley Clean.
