I soaked mine yesterday in a bucket of hot water with vinegar & baking soda for about 2 hours and then just did a normal cold wash and the smell was gone ]]> Tue, 02 Oct 2007 11:48:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=222496&title=smellie-nappies#222496 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=222493&title=smellie-nappies#222493 Author: nikkitheknitter

Sometimes naps get washing powder build up on them which seems to react with urine and cause a truly horrible smell.

So you need to strip them... to do this you do a hot wash with 1/2 a cup of vinegar and then a hot rinse with baking soda and then another rinse (of whatever temp) after that.

I found I needed to do a strip once every few months when the nappies had been in use for quite a while. But my nappies were thrashed as I only had about 9 of them.

I put white vinegar in our wash, cause it's cheap and still does the job of keeping our nappies nice n fresh. ]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:31:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=222025&title=smellie-nappies#222025 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=222014&title=smellie-nappies#222014 Author: Mama2two

We use the Dettol rinse as well and the nappies smell great (like eucyluptus (sp?)). Sam has terrible exczema and it doesn't cause a rash at all and we don't rinse them again after using it I forgot to put it in a load the other day and they smelled horrible even after being on the line all day in the sun ]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:06:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=222014&title=smellie-nappies#222014 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=221981&title=smellie-nappies#221981 Author: nicolaann

One of Alex's nappies was smelly, so I just used detol (the in wash stuff) in the wash and now it smells good again. (I washed it again afterwards though, as I didnt want the detol to cause a rash)

I was going to get some tea tree oil as I heard that was good for keeping them smelling nice. Haven't tried it yet though.]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:29:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=221981&title=smellie-nappies#221981 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=221963&title=smellie-nappies#221963 Author: AnnC

I am finding that my MCN and inserts are starting to smell a bit of urine (that anomiea(sp??) smell) I don't use much washing powder (about 1/2 scoop full load)

So how do you get them smelling nice. Do you put anything in with the wash to deordourize them?]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:00:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11157&PID=221963&title=smellie-nappies#221963
