Stinky cloth diapers

We have been doing cloth for about a month now and we have noticed that CJ's diapers are getting STINKY.  Any advice?  TIA!

    Stinky when they come out of the wash/dryer or stinky when he pees in them?

    Both...  But WAY more stinky after he pees in them.  After they come out of the wash there is still a slight smell.

    Sounds like build up.  What is your wash routine?

    So far I have been washing in warm water and doing a double rinse with warm water as well.  I have been using Tide, but just switched to Crunchy Clean which actually made them smell slightly better.

    I would strip them using SUPER hot water and a nice big squirt of Dawn Dish Soap.  You will need to rinse a lot...like a ton.  Keep doing this until all the bubbles are gone from the rinse water. 

    Hopefully this will help.  If not let us know and we can help you trouble shoot from there.

    Thanks!  Big Smile  I am still trying to figure this whole cloth diaper thing out.  It is definitely easier than I thought it would be.
