My fb's are wicking and stinking.<br>
I've been using pocket dipes forever (my dd is 4 now and was in fb's and ds is 16mos and exclusively in pockets)...<br><br>
we've never had wicking or stinking.<br><br>
So my question is - the fuzzibunz site says i should just run a hot wash then another hot wash with good detergent, then cold water rinse. This is how i wash them every week.<br><br>
I dye for a living, so i thought i'd start to use synthropol as my detergent for diapers since its a textile detergent. am i wrong? shouldn't this work to strip and clean the diapers?<br><br>
and whats the deal with hand stripping with dish detergent?

i've never noticed a smell with synthropol...

I've wondered this everytime I read the description in the Dharma catalogue. It sounds perfect. But then so does Dawn dishwashing liquid.

Well I'll be brave and try it tonite. I am at my wits end with some of my diapers. I can't get the detergent smell out, and then they reak as soon as she pees. I have tried everything. I have been doing one wash with a tiny amount of detergent then two with no detergent and an extra rinse or 2. I never even thought about Synthropol, I have some here. I'm gonna try it and see what happens.

let me know how it goes k? i have to do dipes tomorrow so i'm going to go for it.<br>
if that doesn't work i'll try dish detergent. will polmolive work? lol<br><br>
yes... as soon as he pees the diaper reeks. this has never happened before so i'm guessing its buildup since he's been in pockets forever...
