Tide pods? Did it fix my diaper?

I have had problems with my diapers repelling, I have done a dawn strip and also tried calgon and like 10 rinses. Pretty sure it's a build up of detergent (I use Charlie's).  So frustrated last night I put one of the clean diapers that was repelling the most in the washer so I could rinse it yet one more time when I did diaper laundry today.  

I forgot it was in the washer and ran a load of sheets and used a tide pod.  My diaper came out and doesn't repel anymore!!  Are these tide pods diaper safe, or was it just a fluke since I washed with sheets?

    You probably fixed it. A new detergent can sometimes strip out the old detergent.  Switching to tide fixed all my build up issues. Whatever proprietary stuff they have in there works. I wouldn't always use the pods because they can leave buildup too because they are liquid and you can't control the amount of detergent your using.

    If you found that it works, congrats!!!

    Why not try one more diaper with a load of regular laundry to see if it works with that one too before using it to strip the rest? 

    Like PP said I wouldn't use it regularly because it may cause problems of its own, but if it worked for a strip, why not?

    If you do try it with another diaper, let us know if it works... you may have inadvertently found another way to strip!
