Crunchy Clean: Review and Giveaway Ends June 30! ~ CLOSED ~

Crunchy Clean: All Natural, Earth Friendly Cleaning

I chose to review Crunchy Clean detergent for cloth diapers because after using it for the first, second, and many times after I thought that it deserved a review. Prior to purchasing Crunchy Clean I had heard of Crunchy Clean, they are a leading brand recognized by many as a very cloth safe detergent.

From the website:

This amazing clothes and CLOTH DIAPER SAFE detergent is ALL NATURAL and ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY! 

This cloth diaper detergent special blend of naturally occurring minerals, detergents, oxygen releasing agents that have proven to clean diapers in a safe way that does not harm your precious baby or your diapers. It does work to kill bacteria, and works great in any temperature wash and any type of machine. You can use it to soak your diapers to kill germs or get rid of stains as well as wash your diapers regularly.

• No optical brighteners, fillers, dyes, or enzymes.
• Great for military use!
• Clean rinsing - an extra rinse isn't necessary!
• No soap to build up in your diapers.
• HE compatible.
• Great for all of your family's clothing and diapers.

We now have a hard water specific laundry soap.  

We have worked hard to find all natural ingredients that would be safe for the earth and our families but also effectively block the minerals so that the ingredients meant to CLEAN your diapers would be able to (without expensive additives!)

All but ONE of our testers with hard water ranging from slightly to very hard either LIKED or LOVED the detergent, and all of those testers would recommend to a friend!  If you have hard water and/or have a difficult time getting your laundry CLEAN, try this!  

It also works great for those of us with "normal" water as well!

When I got the bag in the mail I was so excited.  I love the packaging.  It was in a brown recyclable bag with the logo written right on it.  The bag is resealable which makes it easy to keep the smell in and to keep the detergent from becoming clumpy (like most detergents do when left out).

I decided to soak my diapers overnight because I had a HUGE odor coming from them.  I added around 5 Tbsp of crunchy clean and hot water and just let them soak in the tub overnight.  The next morning I went in and the water was a really gross color.  (Sorry no pictures.  Did not decide till later to do the review).  I had soaked them in Monkey Farts.  And let me tell you that is such a divine smell.  A mix of so many fruity and nutty smells (in my opinion).So I proceeded to take them to the washer. I did a normal wash but without adding any additional soak or an extra rinse.  I took them out to the clothes line and let them dry.  I really was hesitant to go out there and get them.  However, when I went out and got them they were so nice and fresh and had NO smell at all.  






Now for the big test.  Once my baby girl went potty...would they smell?  Absolutely not!  There has been no smell in my diapers at all.  I was completely astonished that there was no smell.  I mean I had been using another brand for 5 months and I had heard raves but they left my diapers wanting.


I proceeded that night to soak my daughters' clothes overnight to see just how clean I could get them.  Now ming you I have two daughters so that means only some of their clothes went in the tub.  Bam! The next day there was yuckies in the tub.  So I did the wash, hung them out, and oh such a sweet smell.

I have been using Crunchy Clean exclusively for about a month on my diapers as well as all of our clothes. I just recently received a bag of Mintrus.  Oh my.  This smell is great.  I smell so much different smells with it but the mint is definitely there.  Now my husband LOVES this one since he loves mint.

I also have to say I really like the auto-ship that Crunchy Clean has.  This is what I have signed up for.  I have signed up to receive the SCENT OF THE MONTH each month and I do not have to think about ordering it.  You do not have to chose this option but I think it makes life much easier.


What does Crunchy Clean have to offer in the lines of detergent?  Well besides all different scents and amounts, they offer BOTH cloth diaper detergent AND everyday detergent.  They also offer both HARD water and SOFT water formulas.
