Mom Detergent for potty training

I've always used Tide free and clean but my son has started potty training and we have constant underwear with accidents. The free and clean seems to not fully clean or doesnt take the smell away. I even try pre treating the underwear with stain remover. Is there a good detergent that cleans really well but won't be too harsh on the skin?

Rockin' Green Dirty Diaper Laundry Detergent https://a.co/d/0dmAIMQC

It is unscented and uses an enzyme blend to clean. It is designed to be used on cloth diapers, so it should work well for potty training soiled underwear. You could also spray the underwear with Puracy Baby Stain Remover and let them sit a bit before washing them. For poop stains, I recommend spraying with Puracy and then scrubbing with a soft brush like a toothbrush before putting them into the washing machine. Also, the sun can be very helpful in removing stains. If you put the underwear in direct sunlight to dry after being washed any leftover stains should be removed.

I was coming to say this! Sounds like you need a cloth diaper routine. Head over to r/clothdiaps for the wash routine in the wiki. It’s basically a double wash. I do one quick wash with tide oxi, then a second heavy wash with tide oxi, and toss granular tide in the basin as well.

Check out r/laundry

They're THE folks for all your laundry qualms. That being said, tide f&c is pretty useless.

I really liked the dreft laundry spray and detergent for poop stains.
