At this point I would do hot water only, and lots of it, with no detergent and see what you find in the wash. If you see any bubbles or suds that are remaining after about 2 seconds if you stop your washer's agitation, you likely have some build-up or residue. It could even be the Dawn causing the problem now. (think about what it looks like when Dawn dries around the top of the bottle - filmy, thick substance...your solution could have accidentally become part of the problem).<br /><br />If you're using something diaper-safe like Lulu's or Rockin' Green, you won't see suds when using the recommended amount. They're not formulated to "suds". <br /><br />Adding more detergent is rarely needed, but some will benefit from Calgon.<br /><br />Hopefully you're well on your way to having this figured out!<br />~Prima~Mamis and Papishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018614325455276747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124914550726182478.post-81235831369902813782011-01-12T12:34:17.967-08:002011-01-12T12:34:17.967-08:00So do you think using Calgon is a good idea?

If the calcium & magnesium are sucking up all the detergent in hard water washes, do you think it is best to add more detergent or add some Calgon/RLR? <br /><br />(I have a repelling problem right now w/pockets -- I think it could be due to a tiny washer & hardwater combo (I NEVER see suds unless I add 3x the amount of detergent to the wash) -- but after 4 strips with Dawn (& hand-scrubbing twice), still repelling :( It is to the point now that I am making wool covers out of sweaters & looking for things to stuff them with (old receiving blankets) since I can't buy anymore diapersT.S.
