Yep, another stripping question

(Diapers, not poles)

I am about to strip my dipes - I have 2 that are repelling.  I have a front loading HE washer and I plan on stripping with Dawn.  So my questions are:

1.  Does the Dawn replace the CC I usually use, or does it go in the fabric softener?

2.  How do you know once the bubbles are gone with a front loader?  Do you just run a full cycle w/ extra rinse, check the dipes to see if you still see soap, and then continue with additional rinses?  Is it obvious when the Dawn hasn't washed out?

Anything else I should know about stripping?

The Dawn replaces the detergent.  I can usually see on the front of my frontloader when there are still bubbles.  I try to check when its doing the last rinse & when it's spinning.  Usually during the spin I'll notice if they're are bubbles.  You can also check when the water empties, if you have it going into a laundry tub, to see if that water suds up at all. 

 Good luck - hope the stripping works.
