Bleaching question

nattn

I know it's recommend by cotton babies to add bleach every now and then to your diapers. We have tried a million different things including more soap, less soap, different soap, more water, more rinses but the only time our diapers don't have any kind of smell is when we add a little bleach. Does anyone add bleach to every load or know of an alternative if that's the only thing that's worked?

Have you tried the baking soda soak, vinegar rinse method?

If you have bumGenius, Flip, or Econobum diapers baking soda and vinegar are not recommended products to use on your diapers. Also 1/4 cup of bleach once a month is all that is recommended for the diapers.

I started having some smell issues and I changed my wash routine a bit, and haven't had any issues since!

Here is my wash routine:

1 full cold wash with 1 scoop of bumGenius detergent

1 full hot wash with 1 scoop of bumGenius detergent

1 extra cold rinse

Since I switched to this routine I haven't even needed to use the recommended 1/4 cup of bleach a month! Good luck mama, I hope you find something that works for you!
