Diaper cream

aprilandshane

I'm kicking myself because I used Desitin and even with the disposable liner, some still came through and got on my diaper.  I tried scrubbing with BabyGanics dish soap (had read that blue Dawn works but we don't own any), but no dice.  I've also read lemon juice and normal washing for a couple times.  It's not a lot, but would still like it gone since the diaper is almost brand new!  Any other ideas?  Also, let this be a PSA that diaper liners still let Desitin get through.

People swear by the Buncha Farmers stick to remove stains. Lots of cloth diaper stores sell it.

Yeah, I use fleece when I have to use unsafe cream.  It's not pretty without it!  What kind of diaper is it?  

I would get some Dawn honestly, nothing breaks down oil like it while still being gentle.  If it's a pocket, scrub both sides, you really have to push it out of the fibers.  Do a hot Dawn soak in the sink before you scrub too - and rinse and scrub and rinse and scrub until it's gone.  It's gonna take some elbow grease and attention, but you'll get it out!

It's a FuzziBunz pocket that I've probably used 3 times.  I'll try Dawn, just don't know when I'll be able to go to the store.  Sadly I don't have a CD store very close - would have to drive 45 minutes to get to one.  Thanks for the tips!

I'm guessing the driving to a CD store was in response to Token LOL... I was very confused as to why you'd go to a CD store for some Dawn soap!

I would just go buy Dawn.  If you have to go out at some point anyways.  Since it's the original, it's actually pretty cheap.
