Which detergents for washing cloth diapers?

Following a post left on the Doctissimo website years ago, we have summarized the opinions, and here's what emerged.

Accessories you can use when washing your cloth diapers

Here is a non-exhaustive list of different accessories you can use to wash your cloth diapers effectively:

• Anti-limescale balls
• Washing pounders and balls: saves on detergent, improves rinsing
• Miofresh to eliminate bacteria, destroy germs, etc.
• Essential oil of tea tree, lavandin, lemon, eucalyptus, etc.

Products you should absolutely not use

• Fabric softener: sparingly if you wish to use it
• White vinegar, which tends to damage the elastics of cloth diapers.
• Baking soda (it can be used, but in small doses).
