When I squeeze my pads after washing and drying them when still damp it sounds like there’s still detergent in them.
How do you remove to detergent or know if they still do have detergent?

[@heyhey_melissacrochets]

Good question. I usually squeeze and ring out until the water runs clear. If you are using a natural soap, it shouldn’t be extremely harmful.

Melissa Anne ok thanks I used all liquid detergent the water did run clear so maybe there’s no detergent left

[@Lemonvr0323]

All liquid has a natural fabric softener in it called sodium coculate. It will reduce the absorption of your pads over time so be careful.

kmf134 ok thanks I’ll definitely use a natural powdered detergent for my cloth pads

[@97AshleyRose]

kmf134 do you know what detergent brands don’t contain that ingredient?
