so I'm in need of stripping my diapers...

and all I read is make sure there are no more bubbles in the wash. So what's the trick with a front loader? Do you actually stop the wash to see? I was thinking about just washing them at least 4 times and then just hoping that it has done the trick.

Help!

I have a clear window in the front of my machine so I can watch to see if there are bubbles left. Otherwise, if I look at the inside lip right after it is done running, there would be bubbles sitting there. Other than that I'm not sure how to tell. Hopefully someone else will have an idea.

Are you planning on using dawn to strip? Everything Ive ever read says not to use Dawn in an he front loader.
But ditto Kara. My front loader has a window so I can see the bubbles with my regular laundry detergent.

you can use dawn to strip in an HE FL but you need to use less. and make sure to do AT LEAST 2 full washes on HOT with extra rinses afterward. Trust me, one is not enough!! Even if there are no bubbles!!

I was not planning on using dawn dish soap but just watching for bubbles while the wash is going is so simple I thought there was more to this. LOL

Thanks ladies.
