Ok, I knew I shouldn't have, but I did. I tried to use the Tide free and clear on my pockets and now they're repelling. I use these exclusively at night and Lillie's been soaking wet the past 3 nights. Now, what do I do to fix it? Is there any way to bring back the wicking of the fleece?

Thanks so much in advance!!!

Get some Charlies Soap. I think that I heard that it will repair repelling issues with diapers that have been washed in naughty no no detergents. I've been using it for a few weeks and it's great.

hand wash your diaper with your regular dish soap (gets the oils out), add a bit of dish soap to the fleece & either rub the fleece vigorously together or use a medium bristle dish brush or hard bristle tooth brush to scrub the fleece. Turn inside out and repeat on this side. Rinse well, making sure that the water runs clear. If you are still having problems, do a very hot wash using 2 scoops Oxyclean or a hot wash with 1 ball of RLR (found at Wal-Mart in the laundry aisle hanging on a clip).

If all else fails: Use white distilled vinegar... it equalizes the PH and removes any residue.

I use vinegar about 2 x's a month..but only about an 1/8 th of a cup.

the PP's were also a great ideas!!
