Rockin' Green Review and Giveaway Ends Oct. 3rd!

SAP's Story

When I first started cloth diapering I did what most families new to fluff do when looking for a cloth diaper detergent...I went with the cheapest one that was most readily available and showed as "ok" for cloth diapers on some cloth diaper laundry detergent charts I found online. That of course ended up being something free and clear on the shelves at the grocery store.

THEN I started having leaking problems, build-up issues, repelling issues....it was not pretty, nor fun. We would strip weekly with some Dawn Dish Detergent but it was still occurring...we needed new detergent and we needed to somehow get that detergent build up out of our diapers!

Of course, at that time, I was past the whole "get the cheapest and easiest detergent" phase, I wanted quality, I wanted to enjoy washing my cloth diapers again (and I do enjoy it!), I wanted them to smell and look pretty! That's one of the reasons we all cloth diaper is for the cute fluff factor isn't it?! :)

I tried many diaper detergents, but the one that surpassed all my expectations and satisfied all my needs was Rockin' Green!

Rockin' Green has a variety of detergent designed to not only fit your unique needs, but also your unique preferences! They have different strengths of detergent that you can choose from, from their soft rock to their hard rock and their traditional classic rock everyone loves. So if you have a child with sensitive skin they have you covered! Or have hard water? They have that covered too!

Their formula is also unique in a different sense...it is a GREAT stripping detergent! And I'm not just talking cloth diapers here! I work grounds work full time in the hot sun in all kinds of conditions, my clothes get HORRIBLE! What do I do to get them clean and get the smell out? Rockin' Green! If Rockin' Green can stand up to that imagine what they've done for my cloth diapers, which had needed a great amount of stripping! Filled up the washing machine, soaked them, rinsed them a couple times, and they worked wonderful once again! And that only took one stripping!

I started out with the Classic formula of Rockin' Green as I was not sure what type of water I had nor how sensitive SAP would be to the detergent. I would suggest something similar if you are unsure yourself, you can never go wrong with classic! I LOVED that when I first ordered in the Fall as they had their fall scents out....including the Crunchy Pumpkin scent! I LOVE pumpkin! I'm sad it was only a seasonal scent and I really hope they bring it back this fall! But this brings up another wonderful point about Rockin' Green that many people love...their detergent is scented! They have wonderful scents for each person's individual preferences (or unscented if you don't like scent) so your cloth diapers or clothes will come out clean and smelling yummy! Who doesn't want to fold clothes smelling like raspberries or lavender!? And all the better, it's naturally scented, not artificially! So you don't feel bad about how good your clothes/diapers smell!

Sample Packs!!

For this review Rockin' Green was wonderful enough to send me some samples of their brand new Hard Rock 2.0 version of their detergent...new and improved! Of course, I was excited to try it! I had recently learned we actually have hard water, so even though our Classic Rock was working well, I was curious what would happen if I tried their Hard Rock 2.0!

So without telling hubby, I switched detergents in the cloth diaper wash for a week! You know what I hear from him when he's stuffing diapers? "Hey Honey the stains are coming out of the diapers, they look whiter"! And he had no idea that I had switched detergents! That's saying something if he notices it! So we've continued to use the Rockin' Green Hard Rock for a couple more weeks...no more stains! White, clean, yummy smelling diapers that don't leak! I am a very happy mommy! And my fears about SAP being sensitive to the detergent? Gone! SAP has sensitive skin, but Rockin' Green Hard Rock doesn't irritate her at all and I feel as if the diapers are getting cleaner so I worry less about her getting diaper rash!

What SAPsMaMa LOVES about Rockin' Green!

• Environmentally friendly, it's biodegradable!
• No fillers, No enzymes or optical brighteners, 100% Phosphate free, Vegan, and dye free!
• Naturally scented with yummy scents (Check out scents on their FAQs Page!)
  
• An unscented option!
• Safe for cloth diaper use! See info HERE (Check out The Diaper Jungle Cloth Diaper Safe Detergent Chart!)
• Sometimes you don't even need an extra rinse when using this detergent for washing cloth diapers, so you save water, yay!
• Has 3 formulas to satisfy your unique needs! (See which formula is recommended for your area by using their great chart HERE!)
  
• Offers sample packs as well as a 45/90 load sized bag and a big 90/180 load sized bag, so you can try before you buy or stock up and save!
• Their new package looks awesome!
  

Suggested Improvements, There's Always Room For Improvement!

• I would like to see a liquid Rockin' Green option in the future! There are many people that dislike powdered detergents and this alone might keep them from trying this wonderful detergent, so a liquid detergent would be helpful in this area!
• I'd also like to see specific formulas for whitening, stripping etc., as I mainly use my Rockin' Green Hard Rock for times I need to strip now (which is A LOT less often!) so if there was a specific formula for that I'd be all over it!
• Make seasonal scents available year round! I know they wouldn't be as special or sell as well but I would LOVE my pumpkin crunch back!
• I would have suggested new packaging and a new laundry scoop as I had started out with the old style bag and the wooden scoop, but they've already covered that with the wonderful new magnetic scoop that measure any measurement you'd need with the detergent as well as their new bags that will be less prone to break upon shipping or tip over as easily! Thanks so much for the upgrades I love them! :)

About Rockin' Green

Rockin’ Green LLC was born out of necessity. My kid’s have incredibly sensitive skin and they broke out with just about everything store bought. Eventually I started buying WAHM soaps and lotions and saw an immediate improvement in their skin. On top of my kid’s skin sensitivities, I also found it extremely difficult to get my diapers clean with hard water. We either ended up with stinkies or buildup problems. So I set out to find a better way, and Rockin' Green was born.

Rockin' Green offers more than just excellent laundry detergent! They carry many other natural laundry supplies! Check out their:
