ammonia ?

I just dumped my diapers in the wash and I noticed a pretty strong ammonia smell. Do I need to do anything special? They've only been sitting for two days at the most. Thanks!

    Just wash and dry as normal.

    The ammonia smell people talk about is only a problem on a freshly peed in diaper.  Any diaper that has been sitting for a while (like an ON diaper or in the pail) will probably smell like ammonia.  As urine breaks down it gives off ammonia- this is normal.
