I have been using them for a couple years now, and the odor is certainly an issue for me as well. I read that fabric softener is the last thing you want to use on them, as it makes them less absorbant then they would be without using it, I have never used it and mine are still soft, far from scratchy anyhow. You could try vinigar instead of bleach too, that is another option for odor problems. A change of laundry soap might help too, I use Borax now and they are better then they were before using it. Stripping them is the most effective way to clean them, it's the build-up of soap and such in them that causes the odor problems. A quick Google search on stripping cloth diapers should provide some answers for what is involved, Puffy
