My diapers aren't coming clean. Am I really going to have to do two full cycles in order to get them clean? That seems like a lot of energy and water.
I have a relatively new (1.5 years) top loader w/d set, not HE.
I've been washing on hot with a pre-soak and an extra rinse cycle. I'm using All Free and Clear right now. Baby is EBF, so poops are what you'd expect from that.
My diapers are fitteds, covers, AIOs, and pockets.
At first I thought they were coming out stained, but I ran my thumbnail across a stained area and they are definitely still *dirty*... as in, yellow came off on my fingernail. They're most dirty around the stitching at the seams.
I need a solution that doesn't involve incredibly expensive or hard-to-find soap. And it would be great if I didn't have to wash two whole cycles. DH is cool with CDing, but I think he'd be less cool with it if it ends up costing a lot and taking a lot of effort. And honestly, I'd be less cool with it, too.
So, what am I missing?
