cloth diapers repelling

jraustinrdh

I use sun babies and bum genius all in one diapers with microfiber and hemp blend inserts. I have an HE washer that apparently is building up detergent. I have done about six washes in hot hot water and I have also soaked the diapers in my tub overnight with dawn and rockin funk and did several rinse cycles in hot water. Theyre still repelling! What gives?!?! what else can I do?? I am so frustrated and am getting ready to quit cloth diapering. I don't want to at all but I can't keep putting a diaper on my baby that leaks every five minutes. Help!

Do the diapers smell as well? What detergent are you using? What is your normal wash routine? Do you use diaper rash cream at all?

I use rockin green. I do use diaper rash creams but they are CD safe and when i use another kind i use a liner and then wash them seperately. I do a rinse cycle cold water then a hot cycle heavy then another cold rinse and spin cycle.

Oh and no smell at all. Never have had a problem with that. Im getting discouraged.

From your post, do you have a front load washer?  I don't know anything about them but a post just about 8 posts down titled "Water levels" has some info that might help you.  I hope the build up goes away
