Has anyone used tiny bubbles on these shells? I emailed the company then found their "approved" detergent list but that one wasn't listed.

I wash these in regular detergent...we've been using these nappies since baby was 3mo. and my grandbaby is 9 mo..now....I don't think "tiny bubbles," detergent would have a negative effect on the product....hope this helps....

No I mix my own detergent for cloth diapers: equal parts of Borax, Washing Soda, (not baking soda) and Oxyclean. 1 scoop(tablespoon) for small load. I also put vinager in downy ball and add it to the load. This helps with odor and stains. Hope this is helpful.

we use tiny bubbles. it works fine. we hang these shells to dry after the wash, along with the diaper pail liner. they dry plenty quickly by air. only the prefolds go into the dryer.

I had the same problem until I read the instructions again. You have to soak the bubble wall section in water for 15 minutes or so before turning on the air pump for the bubbles. This lets the material swell up enough for air to escape.

My unit does mist and does not bubble. Might want to contact the manufacturer on this one. When you find out please let us know. Good luck.

I recently purchased this product too and had the same problem initially. The bubble would just build up or bunch up until they got so big they would spill out the side of the ladder. It eventually started working more reliably. I think there is a coating from manufacturing that initially prevents the bubble from moving up the ladder. You can try using a soft sponge and dish detergent to wash the ladder or just let the bubbles action start working on its own the longer the ladder is in the water and the residue is removed on its own. The only other problem with this simple system is that the yeast fermentation mixture only lasts about two weeks for me and does not produce CO2 for 28 days mentioned in the instructions.

For an official answer, I would see their website. After owning mine for a while, I've hand washed with a very gentle detergent with no brighteners or additives. They dry pretty darn quick because they don't really get "wet". Like a tarp with water on it really.

Hi,I scrubbed mine with comet cleanser and then I went to bed bath and beyond and got the SQUARE stick on, they work great, the stips did not work but the squares did. Just make sure that the tub is rinsed clean of all chemicals and dry it with the hair dryer. They will work great.Hope this helps. My tub was so slippery, i fell last year.Kathy

Sorry, I only carry the small bubbles. That seams to be what all of our customers want.

I just wash them with my cloth diapers. I use Rockin' Green detergent. I will say that I used them as a barrier to protect the diapers from diaper cream and over time the liners became water repellant. I stripped them but it didn't help. Now when we need to use heavy duty, (not cloth diaper safe) cream I use flushable liners. I still use the reusable ones otherwise though.

If you use natural fibers and use a real detergent (Tide, Gain, Arm and Hammer, Wisk, Foca, Persil, etc...) you will have no issues with this ointment. If you use a weaker detergent or you use synthetic fibers, you may have an issue with staining, but it won't cause repelling. I usually use Tide original powder to line 3 and I use microfleece liners with flats because of a wetness sensitivity. I have never had issues with staining. My microfleece liners don't stain either.

Have you tried a different soap? I use Dawn in mine and it works just fine. As I stated before fill very slowly as it tends to get air bubbles and overflows if you fill quickly.

So most everyone sees these bubbles as a problem? I miss them having switched from a pair of simple power filters. I have the eHeim intake on one end of the tank and the output dumping down into a bubble wand for a long strand of lots of bubbles. The fish - tetras, mollies, platys, loahces - tend to congregate on the intake side of the tank. Not cool?

Not only are there no competitors but Scrubbing Bubbles may also soon be gone. I wore mine out and when I checked local stores for a replacement, no one had them in stock. I was told that due to low sales they were no longer going to carry the product. I had to buy one online.

I have used Tide Boost Vivid and not the Stain Release type. The vivid gets whites really bright and does not diminish effect on colors. I have used Boost Vivid in all washing temperatures. zoz

In my research I discovered that the vivid boost has an additional cleaning agent to target whites. It is still safe and no chlorine. The regular boost is a concentrated form of Tide that hits stains and grimy dirt harder than detergent alone. I can only find the vivid on line and not in stores any more. I like both products and tend to use the vivid more in my few hot water loads. Hope this helps!

I did a search and asked some people about a possible alternative and I was unable to find anything. Scrubbing Bubbles does help it eats batteries like crazy and goes through a lot of the liquid cleaner but in the end it does in fact help. If you do find an alternative please advise. Thanks

Get a Nature2 and powdered chlorine/or tablet floater This is no big deal, because its inflatable, and not a big permanent kind. I had a DreamSpa for years this size. Best way to keep it clean is not to use it as a bath tub. Rinse off before getting in.

This is a defect in the manufacturing process and is a major safety concern. Do not put the Bubble Bum in the bath to see where the bubbles are coming out. This will void your warranty and won't help you at all because it doesn't matter where the bubbles are coming out since you can't fix it yourself anyway and you already know it's losing air, you don't need to prove it to yourself by seeing bubbles. The product must be returned to the company immediately to be replaced.
