Can you....?

I have been using my Haute Pockets as a diaper cover for my son's prefolds (because they are one size) and I've been noticing a bit of a smelly issue with them. if you dont already know they are PUL on the outside with a fleece lining on the inside. I launder all my cloth diapers in Charlies Soap, but I was wondering if you can strip diaper covers? Is that what I should do to the Haute Pockets? If so...how exactly would I do that? Thanks mamas!

If you're been using Charlie's you might just need to disinfect the pockets as opposed to stripping them to remove buildup. I doubt it's buildup. Much more likely that it's bacteria. To kill bacteria, you could add a bit of bleach to the next wash or wash on sanitize if you have that option. I would personally just wash in Tide but I know many people have objections to Tide.

I use Charlies and always just stop the washer on the hot wash with soap. It really helps thing that are synthetic to not smell. I have never had smell issues since I have started using Charlies and this method.

I think a soak in a oxygyn cleaner would be enough to help as well.

It is true that Charlies does not disinfect. Really does any laundry soap?
