I've got "the stinkies"! Will your detergent help?
Probably! Have you tried the other detergents with no luck? Then this may be just the one for you! Try stripping your diapers really well - I myself use a pot of boiling water, added to a 30 minute soak in the hottest/largest setting my washer will do. Add 2-4TBS of Lil' Outlaws and let the machine do it's thing! After it stops, run a regular cycle on hot and smell them. :)

Can I use it on other laundry? Towels, sheets, dirty toddler and husband clothes??
Of course you can! We use it on everything, as do many of our customers - we find that it's much simpler than keeping multiple detergents on hand, especially when it works on clothes better than most storebought brands!

Does your detergent work in REALLY hard water?
Well - I can't promise anything of course.. but when I was formulating it, I lived in a 108 year old farmhouse with a well that was equally as ancient. The water was so hard that you could almost chew it! Every faucet, sink, tub, and even the washing machine drum were all red/orange with rust and covered with gritty residue. YUCK! And this was WITH a Culligan salt softener.. :/ I kept on tweaking until it worked on OUR diapers before started initial testing, so you can rest assured that it has stood up to some amazingly hard water and come through with flying colors!

Will the fragrance oils cause problems with my diapers?
Absolutely not! The amount of fragrance used in each batch is minimal and will not cause repelling, buildup, or irritation.

My baby is really sensitive, what do you recommend?
I recommend unscented or extra light scenting if you know your little one has SUPER sensitive skin. However, Lil' Outlaws has been extensively tested on the most sensitive skinned bums we could find with NO issues on a single one of them - including my own son, who is prone to bleeding rashes when he's irritated in the diaper region!

Are you planning to eventually carry _________ ?
It's quite possible! The best place to keep up with what's in the works, or to make suggestions for new products or fragrances, is my Facebook Fan Page (search Lil' Outlaws) or my Cafemom group (same thing).

Is it safe for my diapers?
100% YES! It was formulated JUST for cloth diapers - when nothing else worked for my son's cloth dipes, I resorted to making my own. Lil' Outlaws is the end result of many many many trials and tests. It's safe for everything from flats and prefolds, to AIOs, to pockets, to even the most expensive and luxurious fitteds.

Will it void the warranty on my name brand diapers?
Check your diapers' labels or manufacturer websites. In most cases, no - the manufacturers usually simply state that you should not use detergents with bleach, whiteners, optical brighteners, fabric softeners, or enzymes. Lil' Outlaws contains NONE of these, and therefore will not ruin elastic, snaps, aplix, and PUL.

Do you offer wholesale discounts for retailers?
Unfortunately, NO I do not.. but it's not because I don't want to! It's because I already sell directly to customers at the wholesale rate! This is the best value and price anywhere around because I think customers deserve the best products available, at prices they can afford! I sell at the least expensive price I can, to ensure that everyone who wants to try Lil' Outlaws, CAN.
If you are a retailer interested in carrying our products, we can certainly make arrangements though. I do dropship orders, so you can always do that. :) Send me an email, I'm happy to help!
