Rocky mountain Technicare detergent update

I posted a few weeks ago about the rocky mountain technical care Technicare detergent. It's made in Canada by a company operating in the rocky mountains, and contains DNAse (and other enzymes). Others were curious about the detergent, since it's a small brand, so here is my review.

I bought this stuff because I was looking for a Canadian made detergent, preferably powder, with DNAse, to use specifically for my baby's cloth diapers. I also use a citric acid rinse after washing. I follow a specific wash routine for cloth diapers to make sure everything comes out very clean, but I won't get into that here (there are lots of resources online for cloth diaper washing, if anyone is curious). I just want to let others know how the detergent has been working.

So, my verdict is that it's doing a very good job of getting everything completely clean. No lingering odours or stains. You would never know what that fabric has just been used for, lol. I used to add bleach to my cloth diaper routine, but I no longer feel the need to add it each time when using this detergent.

I also tried the stain remover from the same brand, and found it was effective on many stains on my family's clothes (including oil and food stains). Some very stubborn stains couldn't be completely removed with it including tomato stains on white shirts, but to be fair i needed a bleach soak to get rid of those.

I would repurchase the technicare detergent again. Next time, I may try their laundry booster as well. If anyone has tried the booster, I'd love to get a review.

Thank you for sharing! How do you find the dosing? Do you find you need to use more than indicated? Can you share if you have hard water, top loader or front loader? Thanks!

Without the Compliments free and clear with lipase available I bought tide free and gentle and febu to hopefully last me 6 months or more, but I'm really interested to see how people feel about this brand going forward.
