Rockin' Green Laundry Detergent Review




I've been hearing about this new laundry detergent for some time, but I thought a lot of the sensationalism was maybe overblown or people just excited about a scented detergent safe for cloth diapers.

Oh.my.God.

I washed a load in my HE washer today using the recommended detergent amount from Rockin' Green. I used Fresh Linen scent. Opening the bag was an experience. It made me happy. Just smelling the lovely clean scent really was refreshing compared to all my unscented laundry detergent I normally use. I did a cold wash, then used 2 Tablespoons in a hot sanitary cycle with an extra rinse. When I pulled the covers, inserts and diapers out of the washer, I thought I was seeing things. I thought maybe my husband changed the lighting on me. My stained diapers were clean! I wouldn't say the stains are completely gone, but way reduced and I know if I soaked them? They would probably look even better! The stained inserts are no longer stained and we are talking some of the stuff is 9 years and 4 kids worth of nasty. I held the diaper up to my nose and I smelled absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. I wasn't disappointed that the Fresh Linen smell dissipated in the wash, but I was impressed because I smelled no smell. No smell! One more time, NO F'IN SMELL!!!!!!!!

This was where the clouds parted and the sun shone on my diapers and I felt such a happiness that I'm disappointed I don't have any more time to play with the detergent and diapers for today. Now I totally want to soak and try again to see the stains go away, but I'll have to wait until after the weekend. I'm going to attempt to do a few loads of the boys grass, oily, fruit and the Lord only knows stains this weekend. Who knows, I might actually start to enjoy doing laundry.

I do sell it now and I'm so happy that I get to sell yet another product I totally believe in, life is great!

Cloth Diapers to Haiti

Pass along this message to everyone you know!

On behalf of Happy Heinys (one of my accounts) I am gathering donations for the babies and toddlers in Haiti.

Happy Heinys works with a few orphanages in Haiti and the facilities have been decimated by the earthquake. They have direct contacts on the ground in desperate need of new or used reusable cloth diapers (in good condition,) new or used baby or toddler clothing and small baby and toddler items that we can distribute. A lot of donations are being sent and used directly in Port Au Prince City, but the outskirts (where the orphanages are) will get the help last.

These supplies will be delivered to California where Missionaries will take these items in suitcases when they are able to enter the country to help. I will take any monetary donations and send it directly to Happy Heinys to purchase new diapers and childrens clothing at cost to send to that area.

Cloth diapers are essential to the area because without them, they sit the babies on the chamber pots from anywhere to 10-12 hours a day!

So please consider helping. I need donations no later than Monday evening so I can ship these out on Tuesday to the missionaries to distribute. I have a Paypal address for my company that I will use to collect diaper donations and pass along to Happy Heinys.

Happy Heinys is an award winning company known for their charity work and responsiveness to needy families.
