Choosing a cloth diaper safe laundry detergent:
It is essential to choose a laundry detergent formulated with adequate surfactants and enzymes in order to properly clean human waste from your baby's cloth diapers. Choosing a detergent that lacks these important ingredients may lead to odor, leaks and even diaper rashes.

The best detergent for cloth diapers
When selecting a detergent for cloth diapers, look for these features:
- Enzyme blend: Ensure the detergent lists at least two enzymes, such as protease and lipase, for comprehensive stain removal.
- Balanced surfactants: A mix of anionic and nonionic surfactants provides optimal cleaning and rinsing.
- Free of fabric softeners: These additives can cause build-up and reduce absorbency.
Using a detergent with both enzymes and surfactants is the best way to keep cloth diapers clean, fresh, and long-lasting. This combination ensures stains and residues are broken down and washed away, protecting your baby’s skin and your investment in reusable diapers.
