My machine is Rockin' Green

I am a very "scent"ual person and as everyone knows I am addicted to cloth diapers. I love things that smell good. I could spend hours in Waxman's candles in Lawrence because their candles smell so good. I can't resist buying a dozen votives every time. When I read about this new laundry soap, Rock'N Green, I was immediately intrigued. I heard about flavors like Cherry Almond, Grape Soda, and Cherry Lemonade.
Now I cannot stand air fresheners that are supposed to cover up the smell after you go to the bathroom. Poop smells bad, but flowery poop smells way worse to me! So with all these yummy flavors and dirty diaper laundry, I was a little concerned. I read several articles about laundry detergents cautioning against using fragrance with cloth diapers. Seriously, who wants to smell flowery poop?
But I was still so interested in these yummy flavors and how could I resist when samples are only $2 a bag?! I placed my order for 4 Rock'N Green samples: Cherry Lemonade, Grape Soda, Lavender Vanilla and Cherry Almond. Even with this interesting combination the mailbox smelled great! It makes my laundry room a more pleasant place (it's under the stairs in the basement).
After my first load finished, the diapers just smelled clean. The laundry room smells great every time I walk in and the diapers smell clean- SCORE! I typically hang the diapers on the clothesline and occasionally, but rarely give them a little fluff in the dryer first. Of course coming off the line they are stiff. I gave Rock'N Green the first all dryer test this week and I am even more in love. The inserts came out super soft and fluffy. OK I just admitted I was petting the microfiber inserts.
I have tried it on the other laundry too. It works great every time. I love that the ingredients are clearly listed on the label a rarity when dealing with a lot of other detergents. I have to say, I am a little disappointed in the Cherry Lemonade scent, but the other flavors are awesome. I think I am going to have to order a sample in every flavor to see which one I like the best before I order a big size because Rock'N Green keeps my fluff squeaky clean!
