The vinegar solution only works with soft water. I have really hard water and was vinegaring it up the wahoo and nothing! Read about Rockin Green for hard water, bought it, did the overnight soak and no more ammonia. My microfiber inserts are 6 months old and on a tight rotation, so they've seen lots of use. Now I just use Rockin green everytime I wash dipes and the smell isn't returning...it's been 3 weeks I can’t believe noone has mentioned Rockin green in this post line.

Search it on my site and you'll find that I don't recommend them :) I would not use Dawn every time as it will lead to buildup. Soak your inserts in vinegar overnight then wash them. See if this helps. The laundry ball is not the fabric softener ball. Search it on my site and you’ll find that I don’t recommend them :) I would not use Dawn every time as it will lead to buildup.

I just tried the Dawn dishsoap and rinsed them approx 7 times until all the soap bubbles disappeared, now they are outside drying (hope this works). I am wondering about the laundry ball that everybody is talking about; is this the fabric softner ball and what do you put inside it? I also am wondering if it is safe to clean the diapers with Dawn everytime you wash the diapers?

I have tried EVERYTHING at some point, it seems...I switched to Charlie's Soap recently, followed their stripping/maching cleaning instructions to the letter, and everything was great for about 2 weeks. Now they stink again. Not as ammonia-y as they used to, just smelly/poopy. Straight out of the dryer, they smell...especially if it was a diaper that had been pooped in. I am so fed up!! We have no sun, so that's not an option at this time. :-P The Charlie's wash routine involves only a water softener (Borax) and vinegar...maybe I should start using Dawn again? Or bleach the inserts? We do have hard water. Ugh, just so frustrating...hoping something on here helps!

It sounds like you have some ammonia salts built up in the fibers of the diapers. I would do a vinegar soak. In the search box above type in "vinegar soak". Borax is safe to use on cloth diapers.

My hubby complains about it when we go to pick up our 3 month old after a nap. Is it normal for them to stink so much even through the clothing and all? They don't smell when they're clean. And I use borax to get deep clean them ever now and then... is that safe? My prefolds and covers smell. My hubby complains about it when we go to pick up our 3 month old after a nap.

I would not use Palmolive after seeing all the ingredients: Water , Ammonium C12-15 Pareth Sulfate , Magnesium Isododecylbenzenesulfonate , Lauramidopropylamine Oxide , SD Alcohol 3-A , Sodium Xylenesulfonate , Sodium Chloride , Fragrance , Pentasodium Pentetate , DMDM Hydantoin , Sodium Bisulfite , D&C Orange No. 4 (active ingredients: Triclosan 0.12%).
