CLOSED: Fab Friday Giveaway: Rockin' Green Detergent

{Woohoo! We made it to Kansas City after a 14-hour car ride with two babies. Joyous.}

{Without further ado, here is this week's giveaway!}



I'll admit it, I joined Twitter to get an extra entry for all The Cloth Diaper Whisperer giveaways. But, then I stuck around and found some other fun moms and twitterers.

One of them is Kim behind the outrageously fun-colored diapers, GAD (Green Acre Designs) Baby. When I first "met" her, I found Kim to be funny and creative and about to open a brand new business--all-natural (cloth diaper) detergent.

I say "cloth diaper" in parenthesis because this detergent is for ANYONE who wants a more natural alternative to name-brand, run of the mill, detergent you can find anywhere. And pretty much everyone has to do their laundry...and pretty much everyone loves a greener-alternative to everyday household cleaning items...and pretty much everyone loves yummy scents!

So...who is this detergent for? Say it with me: "EVERYONE"!

Okay, now that we know everyone can use and has use for it, let's find out more about it!

Kim said that Rockin' Green was born out of necessity. Her kids' skin are incredibly sensitive to just about everything she bought, eventually causing her to start making homemade soaps and lotions. On top of her children's skin sensitivities, Kim found that the hard water in her area made it "hard" to get her clothes truly clean.

So Kim set out to find a better way. Six months later, she now knows more about chemistry than I ever learned in college and has gone through several rounds of testing to bring Rockin' Green to her customers.

It's a cloth diaper safe formula, that won't cause repelling and works great on battling stinkies. And best of all, you don't have to do a bunch of rinses. It rinses clean with just one rinse which saves you time and money. And, how is this for WAHM-Cool? Each and every batch is made in my kitchen with love! I bet her house smells delicious!

Rockin' Green comes in 2 rockin' formulas and tons of sweet fragrances, which is music to anyone's ears.
  • Soft Rock: A mellow tune that is great for the sensitive little ones in your life.
  • Classic Rock: This is the sound that started it all. Our original formula is great for diapers and regular clothes. So use it on everything!
I was a lucky tester for the Classic Rock detergent. Kim sent me a sample size of detergent and I used it five times--three times on my cloth diapers and twice on regular clothes. How did it work? Super well! I thought that it got my clothes and diapers just as clean, if not cleaner, than other detergents and it smelled incredible! Baby C is usually pretty sensitive to soaps, lotions, and detergents but she had no sensitivity issues with this detergent! I'd definitely recommend this detergent to everyone. And, if you aren't so sure, consider just buying a sample pack--you can't go wrong with a $3 investment.

Want it right now?
Buy it!

Buy a sample packet for only $3! What deal! Or jump in head first and buy a 45-load package for only $9. I actually think that the packets last longer than Kim says, especially if you have a front loader HE washer! You can buy your detergent here.

Want to try your luck?
Win it!

Kim is giving one lucky winner a 45-load package of detergent in the winner's choice of scent and "soft" or "classic".

I do about 10-12 loads of laundry a week ( we are trying to potty train and DH's work clothes). I think I would get either the monkey snacks or the cherry lemonade. Maybe if the soap smelled good DH would help with the laundry:)

If I won I would LOVE to try Cherry Lemonade, or Cucumber mint. So hard to decide, I imagine they all smell wonderful!

I think with diapers, I do about 8 to 9 loads of laundry a week.

I think I would want to try the cherry vanilla...although I'm curious as to what "monkey snacks" smell like, lol! :o)

Jess said...

I do about 5-7 loads of laundry a week. Diapers 2x a week. Although, we're about to start potty training, so I'm sure that'll go up soon.

I had a hard time choosing a fragrance. Although my husband was screeching for Fresh Linen, Cherry Almond and Lemonade are definitely top on my list.

OK I know I am going to sound crazy but I do about 1 load per month in the actual washer and dryer. I hand wash and outdoor dry most of the clothes and am extremely strict about rewearing (if it isnt dirty/smelly/etc)! So this would be a great years supply! I would love to try the berries and creme or the cherry lemonade!

I'm weird, I pretty much do a load of cloth diapers every day. I don't NEED to, I just prefer to. So, 6-7 loads of dipes a week, then probably 2-3 regular loads.

Unknown said...

How many loads of laundry i SHOULD do? or how many I actually do?

oh I kid. But seriously, I'd say I do about 4-5 loads a week. But if I really stayed on top of it, it would be more in the 6-7 load range. It's the husband - he wears FAR too many outfits every day! haha

I FOR SURE would want the fresh linen scent - or maybe Cherry Lemonade. . .

Chelsey said...

I'm guessing I do 6 or 7 loads a week. I make em as big as possible to save on water / engergy! I would like vanilla lavender if it was natural. Otherwise I'd like unscented. Thanks for the giveaway! mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca

Slee said...

i do about 12 loads/week and cant make up my mind. i am currently basking in the vanilla buttercream's divine scent, but ocean rain sounds so good, and cherry lemonade... though id prolly end up going vanilla buttercream because i think the cherry lemonade would be hard not to taste since the buttercream is whispering pixie stix at me...

I would like Ocean Rain in Classic Rock. I do about 2 full loads of laundry per week for my family of five. I try to have the kids rewear everything twice as long as it is still clean before putting it in the hamper.

I did 2 loads a week before cloth diapering, now I am up to 4 loads a week.

The classic rock in unscented seems cool to try. Is it really safe for cloth diapers?

We currently do 3-5 loads a week. Granted this will change in the next few months as we are expecting our first, and I plan on cloth diapering. I am trying to find better detergent to use.
I think I would like the fresh linen scent.
