Try a 2nd rinse and then dry them in the sun. Even if it is on a rack in front of a window to catch the sun and make sure they are getting completely dry. If your using Bamboo or Hemp they do take a lot longer to dry then Microfibre.
I leave my Bamboo on line/drying rack all day then place it in Hot Water cupboard or in front of Fire/HP for the night.
Hope it comes good for you soon]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 08:34:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1134542&title=smelly-naps#1134542 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1131732&title=smelly-naps#1131732 Author: myfullhouse

I've been using that canestean stuff every wash as we have the same problem.

What does 1c mean? Vinegar is a bit cheaper, might try that next.]]> Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:35:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1131716&title=smelly-naps#1131716 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1130562&title=smelly-naps#1130562 Author: myfullhouse

You could try soaking them in baking soda and water before you wash them. Or try putting about 1c white vinegar in the fabric softner compartment or in during the rinse cycle. Both of these have worked for me]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:59:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1130562&title=smelly-naps#1130562 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1130535&title=smelly-naps#1130535 Author: HuntersMama

Do you have a front loader? I had this problem, which I've managed to stop by completely saturating my nappies before I put them in the machine. They weren't rinsing properly as the nappies were absorbing all the water.

Also They could need stripping. Search on here for stripping under this section & heaps will come up.]]> Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:18:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1127431&title=smelly-naps#1127431 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1127391&title=smelly-naps#1127391 Author: jacka

HI
I am using cloth nappies part time and seem to be having trouble getting the smell out. After I take them off they reak of wee. They did not do this when we first started using them so it must be some kind of build up. Also they don't seem as absorbant as they used to be. I don't soak them just wash them in cold water using eco store powder. I tried a hot wash once but it did not seem to make a difference. Any tips?
Cheers]]> Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:30:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35280&PID=1127391&title=smelly-naps#1127391
