My dipes smell. I have stripped them with dawn, I have stripped them with oxy clean, I have washed and rewashed them, I tried adding bleach to the wash I have added more hot water and still they smell. They smell when they come out of the drier when he pees and when i take them off. What else can I do?

[bre4thewin]

sun them for a couple days?

Rinse with vinegar?? What diapers are you using?

[amber1214]

mostly fitteds (gms and mutts) I have 1/2 dozen bum genius AIO's and a hand ful of AI2

Im scared to rinse with vinegar b/c we has really hard water and I heard it makes it smell worse...

[mommytutu]

Hmm, well, I really have no idea. I've always found the microfiber in BGs to stink the most out of anything I've owned and vinegar always fixed it. You could try handwashing them with bottled water, or boiling them with bottled water. A little more on the pricey side, but if it fixes 'em....

I've never tried it, but a lot of people swear by RLR.

Or you could try Tea tree oil. It will at least kill any bacteria that might be causing the stink.

Ive tried RLR didnt work I was thinking of trying Bac out but I cant find it anywhere local. I might just have to try washing with vinegar.

[mommytutu]

Do you use a water softner? You could try switching to a different detergent that has Calgon or Borax in it. I think Allens does well with hard water.

[amber1214]

Nope I dont use any water softener. I might have to try that thanks Kaytte

I'd try vinegar too. I heard that soap nuts are great, I'm going to try those. Oh and I found bac out at whole foods if you have one near you.

[amber1214]

I do have a wholefood semi close thanks Anya.

[mommytutu]

I tried soap nuts for a while and I don't think they got anything clean enough. My regular clothes still smelled dirty (especially in the arm pits of Shane's t-shirts!) after washing. We had an HE w/d when I tried them though, and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

[amber1214]

I have crunchy clean that I use for the boys laundry should I try that?

[mommytutu]

I've heard that crunchy clean is good for hard water. You could give it a try.

[amber1214]

Alright Ill give it a try

[sirvingmaicie]

man alive! i've had my c/d for years and haven't had any of these problems and right now i'm really glad!LOL!!
I have no idea what any of the things you are talking about are!!
whats crunchy clean?!LOL or soap nuts?!

[mystimay]

Soap nuts didnt get our stuff clean enough either. I currently have rlr in the wash!! How funny, I normally use vinegar, and it works, but I wanted to try this b/c its spoke so well of.

Mine are icky atm too. all my pockets and aio's are in a srtipping load, fitteds are next LOL
