Cloth nappy detergent index (North America)

Our favourite detergents are available to everyone. The full index contains 26 different detergents and is available exclusively to our patrons and legacy website subscribers with a current quarterly or annual subscription.

We have a global detergent index that includes 215 different detergents from around the world.

 


Main wash: use the amount on the packaging for heavily soiled clothing, and adjust for your load size and water hardness.

First wash: use one-third (1/3) of the suggested main wash dose if you run a daily first wash or half (1/2) the dose if you run it every second day.

Increase if there is additional soiling (such as multiple children in cloth or older children) or if items are not coming out clean.

Add more detergent until you see sufficient suds in the wash phase of the cycle. View our loading videos for guidance.
