More Cloth Dilemmas

No long post today, I just have cloth questions. Hoping someone will have some advice.

I bought cloth pull ups a couple years ago for my olders who have trouble with bed wetting (I hope they don't find this someday and be mortified.) They are getting pretty nasty. (The pull ups, not the children.) This is probably partly because of the way I've treated them. (Again... the pull ups...) I washed them in any old detergent I had laying around and mega-bleached and vinegared them to death. (If you're gasping in horror then please know I treat my new cloth diapers with much more respect than this and I am deeply sorry for my actions in the past.)

What I'd like to know is if they are salvagable or not? Can I do something to make them soft and clean and un-nasty again or should I start over with new ones and treat them better?

Any advice will be appreciated. Any derogatory comments about my un-cloth-like behavior will be taken to heart.

Good night.

  1. maybe try stripping them (direction) are on cloth diapering websites) that's what you do when diapers start leaking and such. if that doesn't work, I'm guessing, you'll probably have to start over again. I don't have any other ideas

  2. i was going to say the same thing as steph. try stripping them first (which may take a couple times of going through the process if they're that bad).

    maybe even check the manufacturer's website to see if they have any ideas (or email them with your problem).

  3. I'll check on the stripping thing. I do remember reading that somewhere. Thanks for the advice!
