Has anyone tried baking soda for stink?? HELP!

I am at the end of my rope with stink!!!!!

 

 I am thoroughly convinced that RnG does nothing for my diapers!!!!!!! At this point it isn't even cleaning them!!! I did a load the other day and they smelled like poo after my normal routine!!! I also purchased Funk Rock and that was a complete waste, all it did was create yellow stains on my inserts. I rock soaks at least once a week and add extra boiling water, do three extra rinses....nothing. The diapers and inserts smell fine when they come out of the dryer, but as soon as DD pees they are FOUL!! It was so bad this morning that I thought she had diarrhea...nope just pee and some serious diaper stink  

 

Here is my normal wash routine in the top loader:

*Cold rinse

*Heavy Duty cycle on hot with three table spoons RnG (I have had to up the amount over time b/c as I said they were smelling after a wash and dry)

*Extra rinse, extra rinse

 

I was looking on a few websites- should I try the baking soda to the wash cycle?? I also read to add vinegar to the final rinse to return proper pH. 

 

What are somethings you have tried? 

Please help! TIA

    I would strip them with dawn and start fresh. Three tbsp of detergent is a lot! I only use 2 rounded tbsp and we have really hard water! If you have microfiber inserts, you can try bleaching them. Some people also add vinegar to their rinse to help with stink issues.

    If stripping, etc doesn't work, you might just need to switch detergents.
