Can I fix the waterproof lining I may have ruined?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I posted a thread a few days ago about my BG dipes starting to leak through the liner. I think that I may have done the damage by putting some bleach in the wash every time. The BG website says that you can use bleach but only occassionally...I use it every time to help cut down on her yeast rashes. Is there anything I can do to my dipes to restore the waterproof liner? Something I can buy and treat them with? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I can't afford to buy new dipes!

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything to be done, if it's truly leaking through the fabric... I'm sorry!

Well, depending on exactly what's wrong with the PUL, you might be able to prolong their life a bit. I have heard of people buying waterproofing spray (like for tents or other outdoor equipment) and spraying the inside of PUL covers to fix cracks and re-waterproof.

Might be worth a try.

I've heard putting them in the dryer on high heat might "re-seal" the waterproofing...

No experience with it myself though. I hope you can save your diapers!
