RLR Natural Laundry Detergent Powder – Whitens, Brightens, Refreshes Baby Cloth Diaper Detergent, Musty Towels, Workout Clothes - Non-toxic, Fragrance-Free For Sensitive Skin (Pack of 5)

I’ve been pleased with this laundry detergent powder. It effectively whitens and brightens my baby cloth diapers and workout clothes, even tackling musty towels. The non-toxic, fragrance-free formula is gentle on sensitive skin, and the 12-pack lasts a long time.Great for diaper stripping/restoring for fellow cloth diaper enthusiasts!

The media could not be loaded. I soaked these fitted diapers and hemp boosters in a pack of RLR and a small amount of detergent, hot water for about 4 hours, agitating them every hour to help loosen everything up. These were clean and had no stink but they were preloved so I wanted to deep clean them. You can see the RLR really did a good job, I’m guessing these were from a home with hard-ish water. I squeezed the water out and did a hot heavy wash in my machine, then another wash with a little detergent, then it took a couple more hot speed washes to get allll the cleaning agents out and have fresh, soft, beautiful diapers. If you are just trying to maintain your diaoers use the RLR right in your machine. If you have a problem and need to reset the soak might work better. Most importantly, don’t use too much detergent. If your diapers smell like ammonia, do a hot wash on CLEAN diapers with NO detergent and check for suds before going through the trouble of a strip. RLR won’t fix detergent built up, you have to rinse it all out.

If you don’t want a magical powder for your smelly laundry that takes nearly zero effort then I cannot help you.When I used RLR the first time I honestly thought I was being scammed. It is powder in a packet that you toss in the washing machine with normal detergent and run through a regular cycle. No soaking, no extra steps, no pre-treating and no time consuming complex directions. Open the packet, dump the contents on laundry and proceed as normal.My husband produces some of the smelliest gym clothes and the free and clear detergent we are forced to use due to my eczema just is not cutting it. I’ve tried vinegar, extra rinse cycles and even enzymatic cleaners. The smell still lingers. It’s awful.RLR was my final hope. I now use it on my husband’s towels, pillow cases and our dogs’ bedding. It does not leave any scent behind but the laundry comes out of the machine clean and unfunky. It’s amazing.These packets are a little pricey but the alternative is stinky clothes that are not wearable. I don’t use RLR in every load and I have used half a packet in a small load with some success.

Worked well getting the ammonia smell out of cloth diapers!

I’ve been cloth diapering my fives kids on and off over the last 17 years and this stuff is a LIFE SAVER for cloth diapers! It’s proven to be just as useful for my younger ones with even more sensitive skin when we’ve had used washing machines, hand me down clothes, and friends/family contaminating our washer with fabric softener and optical brighteners that cause them skin issues even with regular clothes, not just the cloth diapers! A little bit in each wash with cloth diapers helps keep build up at bay and reduces the frequency of needing to strip them! Forget all the internet recommendations for weird and wacky ways to strip built up fabric softeners, scent beads, optical brighteners, and just general “laundry residue” in your laundry, THIS is the OG and is worth every penny!

This is an interesting item. I didn't order it to clean baby diapers or anything like that, though I'm sure it would do a fine job. My husband ordered this for me because I recently bought several pairs of black pants from several different retailers, and after one washing of each pair, seemed to release a monster that is the undying odor of sulfur dyes used to keep the fabric black. I tell you, I cannot wear a single pair of my four brand new pairs of black pants because the odor is sickening to me. It smells like overpowering chemicals and sulfur.I've tried several methods of removing the odor, like soaking in vinegar, Yaddi Yaddi Yadda, and NOTHING has helped. The smell is unwavering. Each pair of pants has been washed on the harshest settings at least 5 times now, and the smell has either remained the same or seems MORE powerful, somehow. It's definitely a huge waste of my hard earned money if I can't get these pants wearable. Then again - If I succeed in getting the horrific smells out, do I WANT to wear these pants? Imagine what chemicals would be leaching through my skin if I did?? Ugh.So, I've tried this stuff twice now on all of the pants, and while I thought it may have been helping after the first wash, now, after another smell test, I am not so sure. I think I'll wash the pants again, probably about 10 more times, and see what the status is at that point.I don't want to ding this product because it hasn't worked on my particular problem since it was labeled for stinky black pants dye. I am simply experimenting with whatever I can find.So, if it's baby diapers or other smells you need to remove from clothing, this is easy to use and probably effective. For my black pants... I may be donating them or simply tossing them.

Deep clean! Everyone should use this on their bath towels they’re like new again!

Love, love, love it. It helps keep me clothes looking nice. Would definitely recommend.
