Elementals - Stinky?

My bG Elementals started to have stink issues within the first two weeks. My old MD AIOs take at least two months to get this bad. Am I washing them wrong?

    Elementals are some of the only diapers we have NEVER had stink issues with.  What are you doing to wash them?

    Yup, you really should never have stink. How are you washing and what are you washing with. You should be using a detergent that is good for CDs.


    You should do a cold rinse. You can chose to add 1-3 squirts of bac-out during this step. (depending on the size of your load of dies)

    Then do a hot wash with your detergent.
    (If you have stink issues and are using a detergent made for cloth diapers you need to up the amount of detergent you are using and if you are using a detergent like tide you usually need to reduce the amount of detergent you use.)

    Lastly you should do an extra cold rinse to make sure all of the detergent is out so you don't get any build up. You don't want to see any suds when you are rinsing.

    You will never know how much you mean to me my little jelly Bean.
