Cloth Diapering
Stink
The FB dipes I use for back up are out of nowhere having a stink. I used Tide powder for the first couple of weeks we started CDing but then I switched to RNG classic rock powder. I preffered the way Tide powder made the diapers smell compared to the RNG and started using the Tide again about a month ago.
I thought the stinch could be detergent build up so ive done 3 extra large cold rinses with no luck. Last night I attempted the RNG again and the smell is still there but not as strong. Any suggestions, ladies?
BTW..idk if this matters but the stink smells kind of like wet soiled towels.

Re: Stink
When was the last time you cleaned your washer?
I would try a hot wash with 1/4 cup of bleach. It sounds like you may have a mildew issue. Make sure your wet diapers aren't sitting in the washer for a long time before they go into the dryer, and that your washer is open when not in use.
FTR- you should do hot rinses when you are stripping excess detergent.
