I switched to all free and clear/ small and mighty HE. I even used the full amount and they stunky like poo.

Cold pre-wash

hot wash w/detergent

cold extra rinse w/extra water

ETA : I used dawn in the pre-wash, did hot reg wash w/extra rinse.. smell free : big sigh:

Re: frustrated with washing diapers(updated)

  • Okay some of the questions we need to troubleshoot...

    Stinky right out of the wash or once they get wet?

    Everything or just the MF?

    How much detergent are you using?

    HE machine?

    What brand detergent?

    I know other people will have questions, we will get to the bottom of it.

  • Try 2 full hot washes w/ 2 Tbsp of the All & a squirt of Dawn in the first wash, second wash add nothing.

    Okay some of the questions we need to troubleshoot...

    Stinky right out of the wash or once they get wet? Right from wash

    Everything or just the MF? Pre- folds

    How much detergent are you using? Line 1

    HE machine? HE

    What brand detergent? ALL

    I know other people will have questions, we will get to the bottom of it.

  • How about vinegar in the first wash, Dawn in the 2nd wash, and then a ton of rinses?  Hang in the sun to let the sun bleach out the stink?
  • Yeah sounds like the Dawn stripping may be what you need - a little squirt and a TON of rinses.  So sorry you are dealing with this.

    Some may say stink right out of the laundry means not enough detergent, but I was having that with one detergent and doing a detergent switch took care of it better than more detergent.  Dawn may cancel everything out and get you back to square one...

  • Yay for the stink-free wash!!!!! Big Smile
