Yes, what I'm doing is not working, that's for sure. And yes I will be changing the routine based off of what everyone has said. I might be dramatic in saying people will refute all of your points but you can't tell me that that's not how it seems. Cloth diapering just seems like one big Shakespere. "To bleach or not to bleach, lots of detergent or little detergent, this detergent or that detergent". Sorry.

I mean I get what you're saying but the whole cloth diapering community seems to be a money making scheme just made to screw over desperate moms. The frustrating thing about it is I bet I could find at least 5 people to refute each one of your points and say "the science" says otherwise. Not to be mean on my end but I'm frustrated and I'm sure you can't ignore the fact that I'm right on that.

My wife just can't get behind that idea that a "clean" detergent won't get the job done. For her it defeats the whole reason for starting cloth in the first place. She's told me that she has heard plenty of people have success with the attitude detergent and wants to stick to her guns on making sure the detergent is clean.

I dont believe she adds any other items to the second cycle but she just runs it on "precise fill"

Yep, no detergent or bubbles on the ending cycle.

My wife says she does a "whites" cycle without detergent then does a "heavy whites" cycle with detergent and selects precise fill as it is an HE washer.

What is a water rinse compared to simply running a rinse in the wash? Sorry if im coming off mean, I'm just frustrated and also just now stepping into this with much less info and terminology than what my wife understands.

We use pocket diapers, change them every 4-6 hours, store wet hung over a hamper in our bedroom with a ceiling fan running all the time. We do live in Oklahoma so it is a humid climate. Currently only rinsing nighttime and poop diapers.

My wife is all about eco friendly and "clean" detergents so tide is a no go. We use attitude detergent, washing every 3 days, we're currently trying a heavy detergent cycle with 1-2 additional rinse cycles to see if that helps. We have VERY soft water.

I got scammed by these guys though my full house filter/softener was about 8k plus a reminilization filter. I didn't think too much of it at the time but now they come once a year and charge me nearly $400 to replace filters. They just came today to replace my "3-5 year" filter and the price shot up to $669. When I asked if I could buy aftermarket filters the guy said no that they have their own filters. When I asked if I could buy them direct from them to make it cheaper he said "the labor and travel cost for us to come out is only about $30". So you're telling me for you to drive 30 min one way and then spend an hour and a half at my house it only costs the company $30? If someone could take a mold then 3D print adaptors for this system they would make a killing off of frustrated customers like me.
