My BG 4.0's freaking reak!

k8edgerton · August 2012

I have followed BG's washing instructions to the T

I do a rinse, then a wash on hot w/ 2 T. of Rock n' Green, and then an additional rinse. I hang everything to dry.

They smell fine but as soon as my LO pees in them the freaking reak! I mean really bad amonia smell.

I have added the 1/4 c. bleach (per BG's website) but it hasn't helped.

I have no leaking problems and my BG Elementals do not have the same problem!

HELP ME!!!

You've got ammonia build up.

You can search around a bit, but essentially you might want to try a product specifically for ammonia removal (like RnG Funk Rock or ammonia remover meant for fish tanks) and you'll need to change your wash routine - more often, or more rinses, or more water in the wash, or less detergent, or another detergent.

I had bad ammonia issues when I used Rockin' Green. If you can't get rid of it, I'd suggest trying a different detergent.

You are getting the smell on the 4.0's b/c microfiber tends to get stinky faster than organic cotton. I would take just the inserts through a separate wash with more bleach and maybe even try using less or more detergent. (Usually I try starting with less.)

Ditto this. Regardless of what I did I could not get rid of the stink when I used RnG.

Ditto PP's regarding the RnG...Horrid ammonia smell for us. Tide has mostly been working now (for over a year!)

I have bad ammonia smell too. What do you mean tide, is that what you use to wash CD's, is there a particular tide you use? Thanks, I've been CDing for about a wk now with my 13mo
