Stripping Cloth Diapers
"Stripping" is a method of removing residue from cloth diapers. This residue will either cause excessive odor or ineffective diapers. If the residue is from overuse of detergents or using soap you will end up with smelly diapers. Often, the smell will only surface after Baby has peed.
If the residue is from fabric softeners, this will cause the cotton and hemp diapers to be less absorbent and the fleece diapers to repel water- both will result in leaking cloth diapers.
To strip a diaper of excess detergent, simply wash them with just water until no suds appear when agitating.
To strip diapers or covers of fabric softeners or soap, simply hand wash in regular dish soap (this gets the oils out). Add a small amount of dish soap directly to the fleece and rub the fleece together (or scrub it with a brush). Do this to both sides of the fleece. Rinse well. Do this whenever the diaper seems to be repelling rather than absorbing. If you are still having trouble, try a very hot wash using 2 scoops oxygen bleach.
REMOVING URINE SMELL
Include baking soda when washing or soaking your cloth diapers.
If you use baking soda in the wash or soak, make sure to use vinegar in the rinse, This will help restore the pH of the cloth diapers. Otherwise your baby may end up with diaper rash.
According to Vicki Lansky author of Baking Soda : Over 500 Fabulous, Fun and Frugal Uses You've Probably Never Thought of, baking soda works with liquid detergents to whiten and brighten laundry. It does not boost powder detergents.
VINEGAR IN THE WASH
Many parents have complained that using vinegar in the wash leaves their diapers remaining smelly. Actually it is more effective to use baking soda in the wash and add vinegar to the rinse. See our washing recommendations for more information.
Hint: Consider using vinegar in the rinse cycle of all your laundry, not just the diapers load. Also consider buying distilled white vinegar by the gallon for general household cleaning. Melodie Moore's book, Vim & Vinegar, is a wonderful resource for learning how to use vinegar to replace expensive cleaners for floors, refrigerators, furniture, laundry, copper and stubborn stains.
