Washing Detergent Question

I am due with my first baby in a few weeks and plan on cloth diapering. I have lots of grovia all in ones I am excited to try.

I have been using fluffloveuniversity.com as a guide for cloth diapering. I bought all of my diapers used and did a bleach soak on them before washing. However, this was before I did more research and after the bleach soak when I washed, I used All free and clear liquid detergent which contains sodium cocoate.. whoops.

Going forward I plan on using Original Tide liquid detergent.

In the meantime, is there anything I should do fix my mistake? Will washing the diapers again with Tide remove any sodium cocoate I might have added by mistake or would I need to strip the diapers?

I only washed with the All free and clear one time, so I am hopping it wasn’t enough to cause any issues.

One time will probably do nothing significant, if you get a really good wash routine down it should be fine.

Thank you! That makes me feel better.

I purchased them used and am also not sure what the original owners wash routine was. I figure if they are leaking and seem to be repelling then I can try stripping them at that point.
