Cloth Diapering

RLR opinions

I have a pack of RLR to strip my 30-40 pockets with inserts +wipes. All of my diapers are cleaned and ready to be stripped. I've read a few different ways to do this and I'm not sure which is the best. We have an HE top loader. Some sites say to add an entire pack and detergent. Some say half pack. Some say half pack and detergent. Some say just an entire pack. Hot water I'm guessing? What did you do/will you do next time that works the best? TIA for any help!

Re: RLR opinions

  • We have an HE front loader so I'm still not sure how to soak.

    I did mine in the bath tub. I ran the hottest water I could, threw in the dipes and RLR, stirred with a spatula (because our water will burn as hot as it gets) and let it soak overnight. In the morning I used a trash can to transport the soaking wet dipes to the washing machine and used my regular detergent with a hot wash and 3 extra rinses. Worked like a charm!

  • I can't speak from personal experience, because I haven't tried RLR yet (my shipment is on its way though!).

    I found this & was planning on using it as my guideline (the directions are in the description):

    FWIW, I have an HE top loader as well.

  • I just did a long hot wash (the "stains" cycle on my washer) with half a pack of RLR, then a couple extra rinses.

    I'm lazy. I'm not resorting to the bath tub unless I've tried the easy way first.
