BUMP for ButlerMomma

Thanks for bumping this!! This is great info! I can't believe it isn't stickied. This is info everyone should have quick access to :)

Bump

Thanks

Log in on a computer and email the admins with the title of the post and the sn of the op and they can sticky it.

Thanks so much for the invaluable info!! This answered a bunch of questions and I could not find this on my google searches!

I loved this. Thanks for the info!

Just pm the admin and they will do it :). Favorite!

What is the difference between oxygen bleach and washing soda? I've seen posts about using oxy-clean and other posts about washing soda. Does one work better than the other? I have tried using oxy clean on clothes to make them whiter but I've seen no difference. Hubby has some white tshirts that are grey for him washing them with dark clothes. Would washing soda help (would also like to know what is better for cloth if its needed)

I'm confused about bleach and water temperature, too. I read somewhere it works better in cold water. Can anyone clarify/explain?

Yeah I bet you could! Or ask an admin to sticky it? Idk how to do that tho. Lol

hmm.. I could copy and paste it as a comment on the sticky cloth diaper 101 couldn't I?

Autumn can't do it anymore I don't think since we moved to the main page??

Great info! Love coming here for this concise info on important topics. Don't even own a single CD yet but that doesn't stop the research.

where/when do I add grapefruit seed extract on my front loader?

@miss idk.. I didn't even think about it. I have an ancient top loader. lol

@armywife hmm.. I've never heard that. I'll have to check it out.

idk how to make it a sticky.. I assume Autumn would have to do that.

and you're welcome :) I saw so many questions about yeast and other things.. and then stumbled across this last night. so I thought it would be a good idea to post. even tho it's forever long. lol

I've read several different places that bleach is more affective with cold water. Hm, wonder which is true?

Sticky

Favorited! Thanks!

yes a sticky would be great!

This was much needed lol. It seems the whole cd world needs disinfecting lately! I wonder if we could get this as a sticky at the top?

Thanks for posting! I wonder if all of these are safe for a HE washer? Lemon juice seems rather sticky and I really can't afford to ruin our washer!
