Cloth Diapering

Dilemma before I've even started

So I bought a used stash of fuzzibunz off someone a few days ago. I took it all out everything was clean and smelled fresh. I washed it all one time with a tablespoon of Charlie's soap, hot wash cold rinse and put in the dryer. 32 diapers and a bunch of inserts. When they came out, there was a mild smell, like a wet dog. They were just barely a little damp but I still wouldn't think they would come out smelling like that. Am I doing something wrong?

  • If they are used I would strip them. Dawn soap, hot wash, and then rinse rinse rinse! I usually do a second hot wash with vinegar after and another cold rinse.

  • Definitely strip them if they are used.

    Either Blue Dawn or RLR.

     Also, make sure you add an extra rinse.

    You'll want to do a pre-wash on cold too first.

    My routine is:

    Prewash on Cold

    Heavy Duty Wash on Hot with 2 T of Tide Original Powder

    2 Cold Rinses.

     

    HTH!
