We all have those days, those loads, those diapers...
Those days - weeks really, when too many days squeeze in before you get the diapers washed again. Those loads - that sit too long before they get dried. Those diapers - that explode with a knock-you-on-you-butt ammonia smell the minute urine hits them.
The stinkies have hit again.
But today I am not going to detail all kinds of stinky remedies. I am only going to give you the easiest one.
Two steps:
1. Follow your usual washing routine, but add in 1/4 cup of bleach.
2. Add a lot of extra rinsing. A LOT.
Every now and then I run my diapers through 3 or 4 wash loads in a row with no detergent. It does wonders for preventing build up and keeps things fresh.

Something Stinks in Here

Thanks for posting this- usually we are fine but within the past week we started having random stink issues... could be not enough rinses after stripping, could be not enough rinses after bleaching, who knows. But I am going to just throw them all back in for a few cycles. Good reminder.
I did that process recently with a mixed load of microfiber inserts, prefolds, and wipes. Now my prefolds look like they are breaking down. Booo... But at least the stink is gone!
