An amazing new 2 part cloth diaper detergent!
If you are having difficult getting your cloth diapers clean with your current cloth diaper detergent you must try out Thirsties new Pre-Wash and Super Wash detergents!
About Thirsties Pre-Wash & Super Wash!
Information taken from Thirsties
Pre-Wash
Thirsties® Pre-Wash is the only solution custom formulated by a chemist to pre-clean your cloth diapers. The active antimicrobial ingredients in Thirsties® Pre-Wash actually rinses bacteria from your diapers, which are often the culprit of residual odors and diaper rash.
Be sure not to skip this important step in cleaning your cloth diapers! Thirsties® Pre-Wash is specially formulated to loosen and rinse away waste and works to prevent stains from setting. Our pre-wash solution is completely safe against your baby's skin and washes clean from your diaper leaving no residue behind.
Most detergents contain harmful enzymes, artificial fragrances, man-made whiteners, and leave behind harmful residues. Thirsties® Pre-Wash is entirely non-toxic, is safe for your HE washer and is 100% biodegradable.
Use:
Pre-clean with 1/2 ounce Thirsties® Pre-Wash on COLD (if your machine has a pre-wash cycle, use it; if not, use a short cycle). Follow with 1/2 ounce of Thirsties® Super Wash in heavy cycle on HOT with an extra rinse. Allergy warning: Contains Honey and Natural Lemon Juice.
Pre-clean with 1/2 ounce Thirsties® Pre-Wash on COLD (if your machine has a pre-wash cycle, use it; if not, use a short cycle). Follow with 1/2 ounce of Thirsties® Super Wash in heavy cycle on HOT with an extra rinse. Allergy warning: Contains Honey and Natural Lemon Juice.
Finally a cloth diaper detergent that does it all! A wash that truly lives up to its name: SUPER! The amazing probiotic component of Thirsties® Super Wash actually introduces constructive bacteria to your wash which reduces odors and diaper rash. It's the only wash of its kind that offers this important ingredient.
Most detergents on the market will 'clean' your diapers, but none of them works as hard as Thirsties® Super Wash to eliminate odor, reduce diaper rash, and whiten & brighten your reusable diapers. Adding an oxygen bleach booster to your regular detergent will certainly disinfect, but it is very harsh on your baby's delicate skin and will deteriorate your diapers at a much more rapid rate. As well, using a booster also adds up the expense to launder each load. Thirsties® Super Wash is completely safe against your baby's skin, yet has everything you need to thoroughly clean your diapers, and is custom formulated specifically to suit the needs of your reusable diaper laundry.
In addition, most detergents contain harmful enzymes, artificial fragrances, man-made whiteners, and leave behind harmful residues. Thirsties® Super Wash is entirely non-toxic and is just as safe as rainwater against your baby's skin.
Use our washes from Day One on your cloth diapers to maintain that 'like-new' appearance. Thirsties® Super Wash effectively brightens and whitens your diapers--you will be amazed! Test it yourself by reserving some of your dingiest used diapers. Wash some of them in Thirsties® Super Wash and watch them brighten more and more with every cycle. After several wash cycles, compare your dingy diapers still on reserve to the diapers washed with Thirsties® Super Wash and you will notice a difference.
Use:
Pre-clean with 1/2 ounce Thirsties® Pre-Wash on COLD (if your machine has a pre-wash cycle, use it; if not, use a short cycle). Follow with 1/2 ounce of Thirsties® Super Wash in heavy cycle on HOT (less than 120°F; 50°C) with an extra rinse. DO NOT USE ON HAND-DYED TEXTILES. We recommend testing for color fastness prior to using on dyed textiles.

My Thirsties Pre-Wash & Super Wash Experience!
I was excited when Thirsties wanted me to try out their new Pre-Wash and Super Wash detergents. The concept of using the Pre-Wash to help rinse of the bacteria off of the diapers before you wash was intriguing and makes a lot of sense. I admit I was a little skeptical at first using just 1/2 ounce of Pre-Wash with my diapers. With most detergents I have used on my cloth diapers I usually have had to use more detergent that what the label suggests. However, I did use 1/2 ounce like the Pre-Wash suggested. It appeared to help loosen most of the soil off of the diapers.
Next was to test out the Super Wash. Again, I used only 1/2 ounce as suggested on the label. After the first washing (with no extra rinse!) I picked up one diaper to take a huge sniff. I smelled NOTHING. It was clean! I continued to sniff each one as I took them out of the washer because sometimes you have that one diaper or two (maybe the really nasty poopy ones?) that still has oder. Still, no smell! I was in complete awe.
After 3 weeks of washing with the Pre-Wash and Super Wash I've had the same exact results with each use. I'm beyond pleased with Thirsties Pre-Wash and Super Wash! This is the first detergent I have used on my cloth diapers ever that #1, I only had to use the amount suggested and no more. #2, the detergent took away all oder in my diapers where I didn't have to rinse with vinegar or sun them to try to take out the last bit of smell.
I know there are several brands of cloth diaper detergents out there, but I think this is truly the best detergent out there. Even if you aren't having any stink issues with your diapers, you have got to try this awesome Pre-Wash and Super Wash!

It contains lemon juice, and being a blond, I know it acts as a natural bleach, but it also contains honey, which I found really interesting!

I learned that a $20 bottle will do about 64 loads. Yikes! It must be super awesome magical stuff for that price. I've never even heard of it before so obviously never tried it. I usually have to overnight my diaps in oxiclean to get stains and smells out and oxiclean is not cheap either so if it really works as well as you say it does that would be great!

I can't believe that it does 64 loads from one bottle. I also love the fact that they are both made in the USA.
