Stains from water main flushing

[nuwavemomma]

I did not get notice that it would happen (usually we get a postcard a couple of weeks in advance) and I had 12 new FBs and swaddlebees in the wash. Now all the fleece is yellowed. Any ideas about what to do here? I want my pretty diapers back! They're the first non-prefolds I've ever bought, so this is a real disappointment.

Thanks mamas!

Try

I would try soaking in OxiClean (or OxyBoost) and hot water for six hours.

The exact same thing happened here Im sure Ill get flamed for this but I soaked in iron out for a couple hrs then did several hot washes no soap then 2 w/soap then several till there were no suds. Looked brand new again!

By the way when they flushed ours the water was rusty for a couple days so be careful to make sure it is clear again. I was using bg and hautes when I had to do this. Good luck

How long did you do it for? Someone else told me Iron Out will eat the covers - or it did hers anyway...

I dont remember it was over a yr ago id check it every 5 min & give it a little stir. I did mine in the kitchen sink and could tell when they looked better. It did not hurt my dipes they r still in use I did the covers & inserts
