Having a toddler in the house has completely changed the way I live. Besides being eternally exhausted…my house is never quite clean, something always seems to smell and we are late everywhere we go. While I can’t help you with all those things, I CAN suggest a few amazing products that have turned into lifesavers for me. I just want to add a disclaimer that while I love these products and they work for me they may not work for you. Please stick around to the end of the post to see a special giveaway! {ended}

AACD Logo3

Bac-Out

Bac out is one of my go-to cleaning and laundry products! Spilled milk on the car rug…Bac-Out. Stinky boots…Bac-Out. Smelly cloth diapers…Bac-Out! I’ve even got my mom using it!

Bac-Out is a stain and odor eliminator that uses live enzyme cultures to ‘eat’ organic matter. It works to remove odors from pet stains, spilled milk, stinky shoes, messes after your kids throw up. Just clean the mess as best you can and spray Bac-out on affected area. Allow to dry. The live enzymes destroy the source of the stink so it never comes back. As for the best use of all…cloth diapers! Click here for even more uses and how-to info.

Some people keep Bac-Out in the bathroom and spray all poopy diapers before throwing them in the wet bag. Personally, if a load of cloth diapers has a particularly…ripe…smell I use Bac-Out in the pre-wash/rinse. No more ammonia smelling diapers!

Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm

Love this stuff! I actually keep extras around the house to give as gifts to anyone I know with kids. I couldn’t get my in-laws to use cloth diapers for their new baby, but I did get them hooked on Earth Momma Angel Baby Bottom Balm!

We use it at every diaper change to keep rashes away. It also works as a great barrier at night to keep the moisture (and ammonia burns) off your baby’s bum. What I love most about this stuff is that it’s not just for butts! It is awesome at soothing sore sunburned skin. Any small cuts or scrapes also get Earth Momma Angel Baby rubbed on them. Nicks from shaving…even bug bites. We use this on everything. It’s on our cloth diaper safe rash creams list!

Thirsties Hemp Inserts

Sophia has needed two inserts in her day cloth diapers since she was 11 months old. If the diaper I’m using didn’t come with two inserts, the second is usually a Thirsties Hemp Insert. My current bullet proof nighttime solution is three of the Thirsties Hemp inserts with a bamboo insert on top (for faster pee absorption) and cover with leg gussets. I like Pooters, Thirsties, Sweat Pea or Rumparooz covers for that.

Thirsties Hemp inserts wash easy, are very trim and super absorbent. They are made in the USA and are sold at a great price. All things that I really love!

The Wet Brush

Sophia has curly hair. It’s so pretty and we always get compliments on it when we are out. I only brush it when it’s wet, but by that time and especially  after I’ve shampooed it, her hair is pretty much a snarled hot mess. Months ago I had bought a Knot Genie. The packaging had promised it to be the BEST for curly hair. I think it promised to untangle anything easily and painlessly. For us, it did neither of those things. So I turned to our awesome fans on facebook. An overwhelming number of moms recommended the Wet Hair Brush.

I bought one on Amazon that night…guess what? NOW we have easy and pain free untangled hair. Looking at it, the bristles look like any other brush. But they aren’t…trust me! Apparently it’s got some magic called IntelliFlex bristles. If you have curly or wavy hair or a kid who does…you have got to try these! I can’t believe we went this long without one.

Elderberry Syrup

I’ve heard of this stuff in the past. All good things. I just never got around to trying it. This year Sophia had a reaction to the Flu Mist spray. I was begging people for any remedy that might help. It totally stinks when a kid is sick…for them and for us (for me anyway)!

Within a few hours of Sophia taking the Elderberry Syrup she began to feel better and by the next morning the runny nose and cough had cleared up. If that’s not enough proof, my mom got sick with a horrible cold. I talked to her on the phone and told her about the syrup. She sent my dad right out to get some. Within 12 hours I could hear the huge improvement in her voice when I talked to her on the phone. She said that she felt like a new person! We are all now taking it daily to keep the sickies away and so far so good!

For centuries the main ingredient, Sambucus nigra L., has been used as a winter remedy. It’s high in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, is anti-inflammatory, and has been shown to possess anti-viral qualities. Perfect for keeping colds and the flu away or boosting your immune system to help you fight it off. It is available in both adult and infant versions and it tastes like  pancake syrup would…if it were made of elderberrys. It’s sweet, but you only need a little.

Cj’s All Purpose Cleaner

I’m not the crunchiest as people can go. But I do try to cut out toxins where I can. This is one product I’m glad I tried!

Cj’s All Purpose Cleaner is a concentrated solution that you mix with water. I use a 32 oz spray bottle from the dollar store for mine. This is a natural, alkaline soap that kills viruses, bacteria, and mold and is safe on almost any surface. I use it to clean everything; dried stuck on food comes right off with this stuff! What can be even better? It comes in a bunch of amazing CJ’s scents. I just wish they still carried Love Spell. I bought all the CJ’s BUTTer’s I could find in love spell when I found out it was getting discontinued. I hadn’t tried the cleaner yet or I would have done the same with that. Wink wink…if anyone has any CJ’s BUTTer in Love Spell you want to sell you know where you can come. ;)

Scarlet’s Naturals Hiney Honey Bites

If you follow the blog you might have also noticed that in addition to cloth diapers, I am also a huge fan of cloth wipes. I’m lazy, so I like to either buy a pre-made wipes solution or something that is easy to mix. Scarlet’s Naturals happens to have wipes solution in…Love Spell! How could I not?

These are all natural and dissolve easily in hot water. I throw 3 bites in my small spray bottle with the hot water and shake. That’s it. It cleans, moisturizes and has grapefruit seed extract as an antibacterial and antifungal agent. Did I mention how good it smells??!! Made in the USA by an awesome WAHM.

Heart Felt Wool Dryer Balls

I do love me some dryer balls. They seem to help cut drying time and also help to keep clothes soft without using chemicals. You can even use essential oils to scent the dryer balls if you want. These are well made and come with a gift bag. I actually bought two sets as gifts…and ended up keeping them for myself. Looks like I need to get another set or two, lol. They have a discount on Amazon right now if you are interested. It is 20% off the second pack. Use code 2K8FLJX4 at checkout. :)

Geffen Baby Jersey Hemp Prefolds

What can I say…I love these. I was not a prefold user until I tried them. Then I wrote: “This One Is A Game Changer! I Wish I Could Switch Out Every One of My Cloth Diaper Inserts With This.”

I have about 10 of them now and I use them in all my covers. You can stuff in pocket cloth diapers as well. Good as part of a night time solution (you would need two for night). They are the trimmest ‘inserts’ I have. Read this post and see how absorbent they are compared to other brands and inserts. Oh, I almost forgot to mention…Geffen Baby Jersey Hemp prefolds are SOFT!

Buncha Farmers Stain Remover Stick

No more Shout Stain Spray for me! You can rub (wet first) directly on stains and scrub, you can make a spray, you can grate into hot water and use to clean your carpets (I do this in my carpet cleaner machine). You can even cut some up into a load of clothes or cloth diaper laundry to boost the wash cycle’s cleaning power. Click here to see how it works. I’ve yet to find a stain it couldn’t remove.

This is also another product that I keep a huge supply of at my house. First, you can see I use it A LOT. Second, this is something else I like to give as gifts.  My friends and family seem to be happy with it as well!

Thank you collage

Now that I’ve gone on and on and on…thanks for hanging around till the end!

This year has been an amazing whirlwind journey for myself and for the blog. When I began looking into cloth diapers three years ago I was in the same place that many new moms are…complete and total confusion. I was overwhelmed and wondering if I could even do any of it…the mom part and the cloth diapers! Fast forward till now…

I started writing for Autumn and All About Cloth Diapers on December 31st of 2013. I became the proud owner on October 1st.  Finally,  today, we reached 30,000 fans on Facebook. This is huge and one of the goals I had set for myself this year. When I began writing a year ago, we had just 13,000 Facebook fans. It is so overwhelming and amazing!

Thank you for shopping through the affiliate links. Thank you to our amazing sponsors! I just really, really want you to know how much I appreciate everything and can’t say it enough…thank you for all your love and support! Autumn began this blog almost 7 years ago. As true as it was then and is true now…without you, All About Cloth Diapers would be nothing.

    I can’t wait to try cloth diapers I am just nervous to use them since I have only used disposable on all the children I have nannyed for in the past but My friends have recommended them and said they have never had explosions like people who use disposable diapers get! I hope that is true no explosions would be amazing and maybe my sister would change her mind on use them when she is watching my son!

      barnyard smell means they aren’t getting clean. try adding more soap or washing fewer diapers at a time

      I’ve never personally used Biz. It seems to have a bunch of ingredients that in theory would be good on stains and odors. I think I’m going to get some to try it out on my husbands clothes. It’s not really the same as Bac Out though. Bac Out using non toxic and natural ingredients to work. That is not the case with Biz. I guess you have to weigh out what is more important and decide that way which is a better fit for your family.

    I’m glad I decided to take the time to check out your book again. At first I was super turned off by CD books and other sources because I felt like they wouldn’t give a full unbiased detail . Now however, at 18 months of CDing my daughter and one boy on the way in April, I can appreciate the HARD WORK IT MUST HAVE TAKEN TO COMPILE SUCH A BOOK! I had to learn how to CD online,buy online, troubleshoot online and basically have explored millions of blogs, forums and websites (it feels like millions lol)! I feel comfortable with your experience, your passion to help other moms and your writing style is easy for me to read and relate to. Thus, I actually just bought your book. Thank you sincerely for your desire to be who you are!

    This book helped me figure out what the the differences were in cloth diapers and what I would need to get started. Before reading this I was really confused and was becoming discouraged. It was a lot more detailed than I thought it would be.

I used All About Cloth Diapers when my oldest (now 5) developed an allergy around 6mo to disposable diapers. If it weren’t for this site, I would have switched back to disposables because I was having so many issues with fit and cleaning. This site really helped me to understand how to cloth diaper. I have used the big book every year even after my kids potty trained because there are so many amazing deals for everyday household and personal needs! So glad I found this site and the big book!

This is a great place to learn all there is to know about cloth diapers and the care of them. There is no right or wrong way to cloth diaper. All in one's may work best for one child but flats may work best for another child. You will understand how to care for your cloth diapers so they last you. There is a wealth of information on various brands and wool as well. Highly recommend!

My go-to resource for all things Cloth Diapers! Helpful info and easy to use resources. Well put together and friendly with high standards for what she recommends. My favorite diapers have ended up being found thanks to AACD! Thank you for all your help!

The all about cloth diaper chat group is also full veteran and new to cloth moms. You cant get any better resources when it comes to starting your cloth diaper journey. The owner is Jennifer is so helpful and spent a lot time making sure new parents have the information they need about starting cloth diapering their little one. I absolutely love this site and I'm a member of the group on facebook. You should definitely check out the site!!!
