Do they really wash clean???

[KRK]

Ive never had any issues with my MCN staining either, I ensure I do a nice hot strip wash every 3rd or 4th wash though

mwaaaaaaaa


a hot strip wash is (courtesy of ozclothnappies dog org)

Strip Wash: If you get a particularly bad buildup of wash product residue, you can "strip" your nappies with very very hot water and a little bit of plain (non-moisturising) dishwashing liquid. Don't use dishwashing liquid in a front loader, and check care instructions before using extremely hot water on modern cloth nappies. Watch for over-foaming, and rinse nappies very thoroughly afterwards until absolutely no suds remain.
Another way to strip wash is to add bicarbonate of soda to the wash, and vinegar to the rinse. Warning: Some nappies cannot be washed using these products, so please check with your nappy manufacturers carefully before trying this.

I am finding that my MCN's are getting a bit stinky. As soon as they get wet (i.e. after one wee) I can smell it...kinda puts me off using them, especially if Zoe is going to be in someone else's arms. Any ideas as to why this is happening or how i can stop it?
I use bumgenious and greenkids (bumgeniuos smell worse than the greenkids though).
