Stripping that diaper!
There are many reasons you may want to try to strip your diaper; some want to for stink problems, buying pre owned/pre used diapers, brighten the fabric, detergent build up etc.
Here are different methods of strip the diaper.
1. Hot rinse. Several hot rinses! You want the water as hot as you can. I have been known to add a pot of boiling water to my diaper laundry. You will want to add the boiling water before you add the diapers. (Boiling water is only good if your water doesn't get really hot.) This is great for detergent build up/ killing bacterial. You want to keep rinsing the diapers until you see no more suds in the water.
2. Dawn- many families like to add 2 TBS to liquid BLUE DAWN soap to a wash cycle. When doing this you want to do a cold rinse, hot wash and add only 2 TBS liquid blue dawn soap. After the wash with Dawn you want to rinse, rinse, rinse. Keep rinsing until you see NO more suds. This may take a while...
Note: this is not recommended for front loaders. It will void your warranty.
3. RLR is a wonderful product to use when stripping diapers. Simply add a package to your wash with your diapers. Voila done! Great for whitening, removing build up or just to freshen things up.
Some people have used/recommend bleach and other harsh chemicals. Bleach is NOT Recommended it can damage PUL and break down the fibers I the soaker. Keep in mind you will be placing this material close to sensitive parts on your baby’s body.
Have a different way to strip your diapers. Please share with us! We would love to hear from you!
