Are soap nuts good for washing cloth diapers?
Totally! Superbly! Soap nuts are the best cloth diaper detergent – and will minimize diaper rash. I first learned of soap nuts from mothers using them for cloth diapers. Commercial detergents and soaps contain chemicals that build up in the diaper. These chemicals break down the fibers of the material and produce “wicking” of the fibers causing diapers to lose absorbency. Such chemical residue can be irritating to your baby’s skin. Also, soap nuts are very effective at removing odors and cleaning typically soiled diapers. Never use any fragrance, essential oils, or talc. All are potentially hazardous to infants.
