FLCDS infiltration

[smallllmin]

There's a mom on my Fb CD board telling me that detergent buildup is a myth.
Halp.
I know this isn't true, because I get buildup if I have even slightly more detergent than Tide to the 1.
But what's the real argument?

"Your clothes don't get detergent buildup, why would your dipes?"
I told her clothes are not designed to absorb water like diapers are, so how would you know that?

...they're everywhere.

But they do get buildup. So do towels and stuff.

You aren't wearing and washing the same clothes every other day tho. So it takes longer.

I thought you were going to be holding down the fort at the old place.

[smallllmin]

Yeah, I feel like it's easy to tell on things that absorb (like towels). It wouldn't be obvious on a pair of jeans or something unless it was really bad.

Oh hayyy girl.
I had to stalk a while to get used to the format.

Your clothes can get detergent buildup, we just don't care. That's one way that clothes start to be dingy (the others are mineral buildup and wear and tear).

My analogy is this: you go to wash your hands and the someone has put dish soap in the hand soap pump. You put too much on your hands, but you still rinse it the same amount that you always do, so some soap is left behind. Then you roll your hands around in mud and go to wash them again. An initial rinse isn't going to get it all off. Then you add more soap, but again it's too much and again you don't rinse it all off. Then you roll your hands around in mud again. Then you use too much soap and don't rinse it all off, then mud. Etc. soon you have a caked on muddy mess. But in this case it's diapers instead of hands and poop/pee instead of mud. Grossness ensues.

Omg I hate FLCDS. One of the admins posts on the Twinkie Tush page and is very pushy whenever anyone says they have a wash issue. She also said my washer is super finicky and very hard to use correctly to get diapers clean, yet I've never had a problem. They can take their "love" and suck it

Too much?

They are SO pushy! It's like they're on a mission to save the CD world with their sh*tty advice lol.

[llamalover]

Omg a friend of mine was going on and on about how great they were the other day, so I checked it out. Those people are crazy! They've got her using a buttload of liquid gain, not doing enough rinses, and not doing a proper prewash. I hadn't heard of them until she was talking them up.

Nah, they're on a mission to destroy cloth diapering.

I went by the Babycenter boards (they still have the best T21 boards so I go there for that sometimes) and LLOLed when I saw one of them refer to them as the fluff love crazies.
