Cloth Diapering

I am so confused about stripping pockets

Can I strip the pockets with dawn in my top loader? Or no? Do they need to be hand stripped?  Help!!!

    Same here, and I've also used bleach (my microfiber was in super bad shape!)

  • Yep, just use a tiny squirt and rinse until all suds are gone.

  • I don't do it in my washer.  From the Abby's Lane blog on stripping:

    Another popular method is to put Dawn dish soap in the washing machine. We don?t recommend this either, your washing machine wasn?t made for dish soap, it is high sudsing and can clog the hoses. If you have a new washer under warranty, we have had customers who used Dawn, and when their machine broke and the repairman came, it was very easy to tell soap had been used, and the warranty was voided, so please take note of those problems if you go the Dawn route. What is safer for you and the machine, is to bleach the diapers if you have buildup. 1/3 cup of clorox in the detergent cycle with clean diapers, and hot water, will take care of the problem. If you have cotton print diapers, dyed fitteds or prefolds, or cotton outer wet bags, you can use color safe bleach. That is the best method to strip, and safe for your machine.
