Rinsing out TTO?

DS2 and I have been battling thrush this week. I bought TTO and GSE to use with his CDs. I did my regular wash cycle first to clean them, then washed on warm with 25 drops each of GSE and TTO and did 3 cold rinses after. The CDs still smell like TTO so I am worried it might be around enough on them to irritate his skin.
Do I need to keep rinsing until the smell is gone? Did I use too much TTO? I have just pre-folds and RaR covers.

Re: Rinsing out TTO?
Nope you didn't use too much. You need that much to be sure you get rid of all the yeast.
It usually takes us a good 4-5 rinses to get rid of the worst of the TTO smell. Even then there's sometimes a little tiny bit of lingering smell, but once they are dried it goes away. G is super sensitive to GSE, and I've never had him react after 4-5 rinses.
Ugh. I've just been adding the tto and gfse oil to the wash with detergent.
Yeah, I think you want to start with clean diapers. Also I don't know what having detergent in there does to the TTO/GSE. I would guess it makes it less effective.
