Good luck!

Unfortunately, seeing my vision come to life was more challenging than I ever dreamed.

You see in many ways, the “green” cleaning industry is still in it’s infancy. Many in the detergent world, are still mourning the loss of phosphate based ingredients, and as such there is little out there in the way of effective cleaners that don’t have a negative impact on our planet. I have spent months testing different ingredients, researching any and all options, to come up with something that would clean the way that I wanted it to clean for the most challenging of situations. I researched what was currently being done, and found that nothing really addressed the needs of the cloth diaper market.

As most of you know, when it comes to making a cloth diaper safe detergent it is a whole new ball game. Mainstream detergents like Seventh Generation, work fine for clothing but cleaning a t-shirt or a pair of jeans is much simpler than today’s modern cloth diapers. To effectively wash cloth diapers, you need something that:

• disinfects
• neutralizes ammonia and odors
• rinses clean
• brightens clothes, without optical brighteners
• dissolves minerals (that can cause buildup and repelling)
• gentle enough on the most sensitive of skin types (which means no enzymes)
• and keeps working wash after wash

And we also  threw in economical and yummy smelling, because that was important to us as well.

I have spent months talking to chemical suppliers all over the country, looking for ways to address these problems. And it was not an easy road! (Especially, when you have a 4 year old asking you to play bubbles and a one year old who wants to nurse 24/7   I chased down patents, looking for companies that were creating new and safe ingredients to include in cleaning products. We have worked with companies who have research grants, helping them test their products in detergent formulas. I have even gone so far as to get ingredients milled specifically for Rockin’ Green formulations.

It’s a good thing I am hard headed, because anyone else would have thrown a few not-so-earth-friendly chemicals into the mix just to get the job done.

But as a mom of 2 little boys, and an avid cloth diaperer, I know that it is something worth fighting for. All of our amazing customers deserve the very best and I am really excited to bring it to you.

Hard rock is coming very soon to a store near you, and I am excited about the prospects. We will be the first eco-friendly detergent ever to incorporate some of these new ingredients (and you will find them in all our formulas soon), and I am proud of what it means for the industry as a whole. I hope that we will set the bar a little higher and prove that just because something is “green” doesn’t make it inferior. It just makes it better for everyone!

Rockin’ Green Soap has SAVED MY SANITY…oh, and diapers too

---

No, seriously.

I purchased some Fuzzi Bunz that had a case of repelling that was looking to be fatal.

The mama I bought from said she had really hard well water and had also tried everything she could think of. I’ve fixed a lot of repellers before, so I thought it would be different for me, especially since we don’t have super hard water.

I was wrong.

I tried RLR, OxiClean, Simple Green, Calgon, Dawn, boiling hot water, vinegar, OxiVin, scrubbing, soaking, you name it. NOTHING was working. The fleece would have made amazing roofing material or bunch of great umbrellas.

Anyway, I emailed Mother of Eden and they sent me to Kim at Rockin’ Green. She was super super super super nice and helpful. I was hesitant to purchase after having tried so many things that didn’t work, but since she sold the sample sizes, I gave it a try. Kim said to try a few overnight soaks since they had so much brutal build up.

After one overnight soak with 1/4 cup of Rockin’ Green, THEY ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY NORMAL AGAIN.

!!!!

I am going to do a couple more to finish getting all the build up out, but they are actually usable as they are now. Yay!!!!!

Anyway, I’ll update this thread as I do the rest of the soaks. I actually bought smalls and mediums from this mama and am only working on the smalls right now, so I’ll have to do pictures of the mediums so everyone can see how amazing it really is.

If you’re having repelling (or stinky, I would assume) problems, you should totally buy Rockin’ Green.

And I wasn’t even paid for this advertisement.

For every purchase of a 90/180 load bag, I will donate $5 dollars to Miracle Diapers. You don’t have to do anything special, just enjoy your yummy smelling soap and the warm fuzzies that come along with helping out those in need. And if you have a little extra paypal lying around, send a little more their way. They will put it to good use.

So go on, get the big bag this time around, it’s for a good cause!

So we have decided to make things a little bit easier on you with the introduction of scent cards. Now you can sample all of the yummy scents, at just a quarter a piece.

When they arrive at your home,  you simply open up the bag and give them a whiff. (Then place them in an undie drawer or the linen closet for a little burst of yummy).

I hope this new addition to the lineup makes choosing a favorite a little bit easier!

We also want to take a moment and introduce to you the newest member of our team. Lynn, (a mom of 2 little girls and fellow cloth diaperer known as @spitmonkey78 on twitter) has joined the Rockin’ Green team. She is here to help get your orders scented and out the door a little quicker. We are super happy to have her on board, and have a lot of big things coming down the pipeline over the next few months.

Thank you so much for your support- and if you haven’t sampled the pumpkin crunch you are missing out!
