I bought the five gallon bucket of Charlie's and I still have my bars of Fels that I'll use for anything really bad like mildewy towels or something. Thanks for shouting out Charlie's. I love it. Only use a half a scoop for two days worth of diapers.Tiffany L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-62634671157782287872010-12-16T22:26:01.383-05:002010-12-16T22:26:01.383-05:00I also make my own laundry soap, but have a differ...I also make my own laundry soap, but have a different "recipe" for my diapers.

Rockin Green soaks help a great deal, but I discovered that Charlies Soap was not working for me and could not help with the stink.

The problem with that was they were my FAVORITE diapers! Finally, I realized the error of my ways and that all they needed was a good stripping. Now they too work almost like new. It is amazing how build up can happen without you even noticing it!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084508993121264878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-89610216351654681962010-12-16T09:33:38.728-05:002010-12-16T09:33:38.728-05:00I had build up problems with my BGs too after only...I had build up problems with my BGs too after only using them for a little over a month. I was using "cloth diaper safe cream" at night with no liners. My dtr started leaking at night at the waist 3 days in a row. So I had to strip the diapers yesterday. Cotton Babies (maker of BGs) recommended just a teaspoon of blue Dawn original in a hot wash then rinse, rinse, rinse. I didn't have Dawn on hand so I ran my diapers through cold rinse, hot wash, cold rinse then 3 warm rinses cycles. This morning I check and no leaks on the PJs. It did the trick for now. Lesson learned I will only use diaper cream with fleece diaper liner and wash those separately.Sarah Rheaumehttp://www.facebook.com/sarahrheaume1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-4359264065520120632010-12-16T09:31:10.303-05:002010-12-16T09:31:10.303-05:00Hmmmm....

Hopefully this will work and allow me to use those diapers again.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950838179138550236noreply@blogger.com
