Great! As long as I don't try to mess with my routine, I have no issues  The only time I ever really have issues with it is when I stray from the normal wash routine and try something new.

I had a good routine and then I got some BG 4.0 with the suedecloth and relized they weren't getting totally clean. I altered my routine a bit and now no more problems.

I had issues whenever anything changed lol. Nothing I couldn't fix though. We moved, had to use a different machine, different water, etc. The trickiest was when we started scraping poopy dipes and spraying bac-out, I didn't realize that DH was DOUSING them in pure bac-out, and I couldn't figure out why I had endless suds!! That was very frustrating, diapers were tying up the washer all day with suds not rinsing out in the FLer! What a relief to get that fixed

It took me a few weeks to figure out the best settings to use on my HE FL but after I figured it out there haven't been any more problems (besides when I tried using some lavender Mrs, Meyer's fabric softener on my fitteds and DD broke out in a rash).

The only issues I've really had were just setting up my wash routine. Once I got that down, it's been good.

I have had a bunch of little issues...that were pretty easy to fix (detergent trouble, rinsing clean issues, rashes, etc). But I think it took me longer to get the hang of it all than it does for others. Now that we have a good routine, I have no complaints whatsoever. But we did have quite a few issues for that first year or so, just adjusting everything and finding what worked for us.

As teddy has grown and changed we had to change routines a bit, but never had any terrible issues.

Had issues starting out. Then they were ok for about 5 months. Then I had to switch detergents, that only lasted for 6 months. Basically in 2 years I've had to change up my routine about 4 times. But this time it is actually working well!

It's been quite easy since day 1.
An issue with stains and 1 load that ended up smelly. No big deal, solved the issues.

I have had a couple of minor issues, but luckily they've been easy fixes - usually a case of just tweaking my routine a little - such as using more detergent & adding in a longer soak

((Knock on wood)) We've had pretty smooth sailing. I made sure to ask everyone's wash routine before hand, picked the most common one and what would work best for us, and it did and it's what we've stuck to. Just recently did my first stripping - which took me quite a few washes to figure my washer not putting out super hot water, but figured that out before I was done. So I'd say we've been pretty lucky. No complaints!

I generally didn't have too many issues until I moved to a place with super soft water. Threw me off completely! Had to relearn how to wash them!

In general, how has washing cloth diapers been for you?
