so, i think finally got the yeast out of dylan's prefolds and other natural fiber diaps.  however, after weeks and weeks of washing, stripping, bleaching, etc. the bg's, he still gets red when he wears them.  so, i'm sick of it and want to sell them.  but, i can't morally sell them if i think they might still have yeast in them.  so what can i do?  am i stuck just keeping them around or, worse, trashing them?

    Instead of trashing or selling, I'd probably try one more thing. ?Have you tried soaking with a good amount of bleach? Not very EF, but better than trashing IMO. ?

    Have you tried using GSE drops? I haven't had any experience with it but I hear that it's effective at killing yeast.

    yes, i've tried both bleach (spraying them directly with clorox clean up spray then putting them in the washer with 1/2 cup of bleach, lowest water setting) and 100 drops of GSE.  i've also done oxy clean.  and vinegar. and adding a pot of boiling water.

    just a shot in the dark, but are you sure it's not the suede cloth that's bothering him?

    This is what I am thinking too.

    I think this, too, since you have done bleach and GSE.

    Is there maybe residue from all the bleach/ gse that is making him red?

    i've thought of this, but he's never reacted to the suede cloth in over a year of use.  i've also thought there might possibly be build up from the bleach/GSE/vinegar/etc so maybe i'll do some extra rinses.  after that, do you think i'd go ok to try to sell them or should i try them on ds one last time?

    IMO I'd rinse the heck out of them, sun them one more time and then sell them.  They aren't working for you and I think they are more of a headache then a helper for you.
