The Outters
How to “strip” diaper covers:
 |
There are so many additives that can cause problems with fabrics, some to look out for are: |
Fabric softeners, Brighteners, Stain Guards, “Natural” Additives (Oils), “Natural” Soaps (Dr. Bonners)
Typically inexpensive detergents do not add so many additives. Sun, Clout, and Generics are good examples.
|
The list is long for why to remove detergent residues. The can cause the following…to name a few: |
Wicking and Leaking: Wicking is the spreading of fluid across a fabric.
Repelling: This is an issue for doublers. If fabric fibers get coated in detergent residue they will repel water.
Stinky Smells: Detergent residue will trap or “bind” the odor to the fabric.
Rashes: If your fabrics are covered with a chemical residue, they can be expected to cause skin irritations.
(Rashes can also be attributed to infrequent diaper changes.)
Yellowing or Graying of Whites: The common cause is detergent residue.
|
The good news is that products that have been damaged by detergent residue can usually be saved. |
If the residue is not too extensive, it can often be resolved by doing a couple of hot water rinses with no detergent.
After they have been washed the covers go in the dryer.
If this does not resolve the issue, a more intense “stripping” may be necessary. Repeat the following process twice:
Run your covers and diapers through a wash with only hot water (if allowed by manufacturer’s washing instructions)
Run a second wash using ˝ cup baking soda and ˝ cup vinegar in this second wash.
˝ cup vinegar again in first rinse cycle.
Run a second rinse cycle with plain hot water.
