Smelly Bamboo Diaper

MommyKristin88 · September 2013

My son is using some Imagine Newborn AIO Bamboo diapers. I prepped them 4 times (hot water wash with detergent and dryer each time). He wore them once, so I did my normal wash routine (cold rinse, hot wash with detergent, hot rinse, line dry). Now they are dry, but smell like pee. I haven't had this issue with the prefolds or BG AIO. How do I get rid of the smell? Is it normal for bamboo dipes to hold the smell? Should these be washed differently?

FYI I use All Free& clear on the diapers.

Thanks in advance!!

Powder or liquid? I would not use liquid

I agree on different detergent. If they stink out if the dryer they aren't getting clean.

Darn. I use liquid. Does All come in powder or do I need a different brand?

is the whole inner bamboo? I know some brands just use a bamboo outer, but MF inner. For some people MF = stinkfest.

The website says 70% bamboo and 30% cotton. No MF

Use tide ultra powder

I would recommend using more detergent or switching to regular Tide.

Sorry if this is a dumb question: is Tide okay for the other diapers (they aren't having issues, so I don't know if your suggestions are for all my dipes or just the bamboo ones)?

You can use Tide on all of your diapers

TJ1979 · September 2013

You really don't want to use liquid detergent on any of your diapers. I'd switch to tide for all dipes.

Thank you all!
