Cheap detergent works really well. Try to avoid brighteners, softeners, enzymes, and perfumes. A few detergents that we would recommend:

• Purex Free and Clear
• Sun Free
• Wind Fresh
• Allen’s Naturally, Liquid or Powder
• Oxy Clean (only occasionally)
• Arm & Hammer Soda Wash (NOT RECOMMEND FOR bumgenius!)
