Over time I get that diaper funk smell. I’m guessing it is caused by soap, bacteria and ammonia buildup. I wash about every other day and rinse twice. I use just enough soap to see a few suds during the wash cycle. Early on I noticed I was using way too much soap, even though it was the manufacture’s recommended amount….more you use, more you buy? /-: Too much soap seems to result in rapid soap buildup even with double rinse cycles. Micro fleece warnings I've seen say do not use chlorine bleach to wash! Guessing that is because it is composed of some sort of chlorinated plastic material? I have read several articles about striping cloth diapers. Only method I’ve found that actually works is very hot water and bleach(Clorox). Problem is bleach breaks down cotton fibers and accelerates wear. Has anyone found an effective substitute for regular old bleach or an effective striping method that doesn’t damage cotton diapers?
