Rashes can be caused by a lot of things, changes in diet, teething, suede-cloth allergies etc...so when in doubt send us an email to guru@rockingreensoap.com and we will help you troubleshoot. Seriously, they call us the laundry gurus for a reason! Here's the most common causes of detergent related rashes and possible solutions:
-Did you recently switch to Rockin' Green?
If you just made the jump, it's most likely old detergent coming to the
surface and causing issues. Even if your first soak was clear, it's
possible that minerals, enzymes and other gunk are now living on the
surface of your diapers. So try Rockin' another soak and following up
with several washes with nothing.
-Diapers look and smell great, but you are experiencing irritation? Get naked! Bare Naked that is....while we have taken great care to pick the gentlest scents on the market, we know that sometimes babies don't like to follow the rules. So skip the scent and try unscented.
-Diapers stinky? Coupled with sore bottoms? Check your wash routine and soap dosage. If your wash routine needs tweaking, you can experience ammonia buildup and eventually ammonia burn. Which isn't fun! Make sure that you are doing enough rinsing at both the beginning and end of your routine. Sometimes adding on an extra rinse at the end is all you need to fix an angry bottom.
-Diapers stink and extra rinsing doesn't help? Make sure that you are using the right formula for your water type. When in doubt send us an email or give us a call and we would be happy to help you figure out your water type. We can not only identify your particular water issues, but help you figure out the right dosage too.
-When in doubt, send us an email. We have gone out of our way to create
a product that is both safe for the environment and babies, and have
recently reformulated our products to use a milder surfactant and
gentler scents. So if something isn't working for you, we want to know
about so we can create something that will!
