Thirsites - Pre-wash & Super wash {Giveaway Has Ended}

I've been using cloth diapers for over two years now and in all honesty I have been doing the same laundry routine and I've never had a laundering issue. With that being said I was a bit reluctant when I was asked to review Thristies Pre-wash and Super wash. I didn't want to start having any issues because I started using something else, however I've had such great luck with Thirsties products I decided to give them a try. I've been using the washes for quite sometime now and haven't had one problem, the diapers look whiter than normal and smell fresh and clean every time. I haven't had any notice of build up and I like that the bottle measures everything out for me, so I'm not guessing that I'm using the correct amount. I first use the pre-wash on a cold rinse cycle, this helps lift stains, remove poo and eliminates bacteria. After I run that through I use the Super wash on a hot cycle. Works like a charm and with it being concentrated a little bit really does go a long way. I have been very happy with this detergent and though I don't like to change my laundry patterns often - this is definitely a great route to go with laundering your diapers! What's also nice about this detergent, you don't have to just use it on your cloth diapers. It's known to lift stains and whiten your everyday apparel.

You can check out my other reviews for the fantastic Thirsties products. Thirsties Fab Fitted and Duo Wrap and the Thirsties Duo Diaper.

  1. I'm not laundering cloth diapers yet, but I would like to try this because I trust your review, and I also think it is great that it measures the amount of liquid for you. It seems like a routine I could follow.

    I'd love to try the Thirsties but it is so expensive. Is it really worth the extra cost? And do you have to use both the prewash and the super wash or can you just use the super wash alone?

  38. I don't use any yet, since we aren't cloth diapering until our next baby is born. I have some Rockin Green I'm looking forward to trying, but would love to try this too and see which I like better! =)

  80. I do not use cloth diapers exculsively, I have a couple that I rotate in when we are at home, etc. I use dreft detergent to wash them. Cloth diapering is something I am wanting to get more into, especially when I get to be a SAHM.
    I would love to try this detergent to see if it makes a difference in how clean the cloth diapers get.

  172. I tried a few different detergents for diapers , first the natural ones from the co-op store, and ended up using tide free of dyes and colors at the end. I am no longer washing diapers, but hope to start again soon (if you get my hint ;)).

  179. I'm not using a diaper laundry detergent yet. I want to use this particular product because it sounds very effective!
