I was fortunate enough to meet Ashley the owner of Crunchy clean this past weekend. A lovely lady with a wonderful product. I ordered a large bag of the Tea Tree diaper detergent and so far so good. It left our diapers, clean and fresh smelling. I co-hosted a cloth diaper party yesterday and gave away some free samples of this product to the other cloth diapering mommies and I will anxiously await their reviews.
If you have ever tried the Crunchy Clean detergent I'd love to hear your honest opinion as well. I am considering adding this product to our inventory and want to know what other Moms think of it.

Hello! I think Crunchy Clean offers a relatively CD-safe option for your customers who may struggle with "what's the right detergent for me?" I did use Crunchy Clean for about 6 months, my first 6 months of cloth diapering. However, for me it didn't work out. While it got my diapers clean enough and smelled WONDERFUL, it left horrible residue and I started experiencing problems with all of my diapers: pockets, hemp, cotton, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt may make a difference that I have a front-load HE machine, and maybe it just wasn't efficient at rinsing the CC away, but the residue became a problem and we experienced redness rash from it.
I am now in the process of another switch because the CD-safe detergent I switched to didn't get the diapers clean enough.
Should you carry CC in your store? I personally can't recommend it based on my experience, and I know of many others who had a similar experience. It's a smell-great product that might sell well to some CD moms. However, based on things I've read there are a great number of moms who do just fine with Original Tide. This may make it difficult to market this as "special" detergent for diapers.
