How much of this should I use per load for cloth diapers in an HE washing machine? How many loads of laundry does the box do?

Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Depends on how big a load. Can also pre-soak. Will do 10-12 loads at using 1/2 cup. Directions is on back of box.

dear e.kee..barb hara again about nellies brand,i looked on line and a few places have it including "hsn",there is one place that has free shipping for any order of $20.00.this would be a great way for you to try it out.remember-do not expect bubbles or a scent-but it is not filled with all the extra ingredients that are toxic and can irritate your baby's skin.you can do a load of laundry for 12 cents to 15 cents ,depending on the size you get.hsn has the 500 load container for 59.00 and 5.00 shipping..that is 12 cents a load.it is also a wonderful presoak.good luck! barb

I have an average standard size dryer. I purchased the set of 3 dryer balls and find that it works well for a few towels or 3 pair of pants. To answer your question-One box works for small loads only. Purchase an extra box if you have larger amounts in the dryer.

I wash mine every 2-3 days. I do a full hot wash with cloth diaper safe detergent (I use either Original Tide powder or Ecos Free & Clear liquid), then a cold wash with nothing. Sometimes I'll do an extra warm rinse.To diaper one child and launder every other day, you would need about 20-24 diapers. Some people launder every day, in which case you would need about 12. I have collected enough diapers that I could go a week or so with no laundry, but you really don't want to go that long. Don't let them sit more than about 3 days or they can grow mold and get pretty nasty.

I get 5 to 8 loads out of 8 nuts. The majority of the time I use them on the cloth diapers and baby cloths (also small loads).

I use one TBL per load in top loaders unless the stuff is very dirty. You will think its not enough soap because it's low sudsing but it is enough. The only front loader I ever used it on was a 3- load washer and I used 2 tablespoons and it sudsed like crazy.

I followed my friend's advice. She had twins and used these. start with 6, you will have more than enough. You don't always need to put them to wash every day, if the poop has not touched the wrap, you can reuse it. However, we did not use it for our newborn, she was too small, 6.3lbs. We started with 6, we are still using them and our daughter is now 6 moths old. They are great.

If I were a mother again, I would have no problem buying this product for washing diapers. It has a limited capacity, but it keeps the diapers out of the regular household laundry. For busy people it may be impractical beyond infant and early toddler size diapers. But that depends on how much you mind doing several loads a week. I wouldn't mind at all. Cloth diapers are the healthiest. Babies do NOT need all the ridiculous chemicals in disposables. I say that with a little authority. I used to work in a research and development department of a baby diaper manufacturing company. Trust me. Cloth diapers are healthier than disposables. I would never let a disposable touch my baby if I didn't have to. As for the egg, you could probably get a dozen and a half newborn diapers in it. Probably eight to twelve toddler diapers. I don't think it is such a pain to hook up to a faucet that is in a second bathroom or a utility room. Otherwise it would be kind of a pain n a kitchen or only bathroom. The full wash is about thirty minutes. Wash and no rise is about fifteen. Just remember to turn the water off before removing the hose from the faucet! I wish my mom had it in the 1950's and 1960's when she had eight children and several in cloth diapers at any given time. I was an oldest daughter and often changed the cloth diapers and rinsed them in the toilet. Then put them in the bleach pail. I would have loved the ego egg. Just take the diapers out of the pail and put them in the egg. Run it and then wring them out. Throw them in the dryer or hang them up. You don't have to mix them in with regular laundry and you can dry them together, fold them and put them away.

The 9.9 lb box will wash a minimum of 150 loads. I usually buy a much bigger size (can't read the weight, but it is at least 40 lbs., maybe 50 lbs). This lasts me a year or more. I like Legacy of Clean for a lot of reasons, but mainly because I don't have to keep buying small boxes of laundry detergent at the store. At one time I paid around $100 for my big box. It is probably more now.

I have an HE top loader; all you have to do is measure out about 1/4 cup and put it directly into the drum of your machine. Add your clothes and laundry soap as usual &#128522;

It really depends on how often you intend to do laundry. If you're using cloth dipes and plan to wash your own (and daily), you'll need less. If you're using cloth diapers but with a service that comes once per week or if you're using disposable, you'll just have to decide what you're willing to wash them with or if you want to wash them alone AND how often you want to wash. I suggest at least 2 dozen to start. Also, if you know someone with a serger, have him/her serge around the edge -- they'll last a LOT longer if you do this. I love these wipes but they did start to fall apart quickly until my mom put them through her serger -- then they lasted wash after wash. Another tip -- don't ever use fabric softener or a dryer sheet with these or anything you want to be absorbent (like cloth dipes)...softeners leave a coating that, over time, builds up and will make the fabric less absorbent. Consider using a nice essential oil with your cloth wipes -- it makes the wipes smell so nice. Best of luck to you! :0)

Hi Richard mine is a little messed up but what I can read is for machine washing use 2 oz or (1/3 cup) per load and hand washing Use 2 tsp. for each sink full. I use more than that maybe 1/4 cup. I might use to much but I like the scent. Hope that helps

Wash them with baby-safe detergent as you would any new clothing item that will be touching baby's skin. Never use fabric softeners - it will cause them to be less absorbent. A helpful tip my mom gave me: when washing them after use, include up to three tablespoons of vinegar. I guess a tablespoon per 10 diapers would be adequate. It will neutralize the ammonium in the urine (uric acid) and keep them from building up a stink.

Honestly I haven't ever done the math but I split a bucket with a friend and it lasted about a year. I guess it just all depends on how much you use. I average about a tbs of soap for an average load of clothes but you may need more or less depending on the size of load and how soiled it is.

I really don't know but I use three scoops per load of diapers... one for the prewash and two for the regular wash. It seems to be the same size as the Rockin Green I had before.

It would depend on your washer and how full you stuff both the washer and the hamper.For my husband and I it holds over a week of clothesWe have a front load washer. If he does laundry it holds two loads ... if I do laundry it holds three loads

we use ours in a high efficiency washer, it lasts us 2 months. we do a small load about 3-4 times a week. I use a teaspoon the night before I wash it in a soak (outside the washer). when we first got it we had to run a few loads a couple times. the soaking helps with not having to do that any more.

It is about a TBS. But this is horrible detergent, you will need to use 6-10 scoops to get enough to get diaper clean. You can just use Tide on cloth diapers.
