Cloth Diapering

If you bleached your fitteds, come in

I've stripped several times, done the baking soda and vinegar routine, and done plain hot washes. Nothing has taken care of the ammonia smell. How do I bleach them? I assume that my beautiful patterns will be ruined, right? I'm willing to trade looks for a better smelling/feeling diaper.

  • Also, once it's gone, how do I keep the ammonia from coming back?

  • I used a quarter cup in the bleach cup of my front loader and they didn't even fade...do you have a front or top loader?

  • when I bleached, I filled the washer with water, added 1/4 cup of bleach, swirled around, added my clean diapers and then ran the wash cycle as usual with no detergent and an extra rinse.

    If you add the dipes AFTER adding bleach to the water and swirling it, it should concentrate it enough to not mess with your prints.

  • I have a top loader. I ran a regular hot wash with 1/4 cup bleach and no fading.  Plus dipes smell wonderful.  I will be doing this every month I'm sure.
