Stinky Magic-Alls

[StrawberryMumma]

Is it just me, or does anyone else's Magic-Alls smell?

There are a few of my MCNs that are quite stinky, but I think these are the worst..I don't think it's the detergent build up thing..and I pretty well always dry them in the sun....

Could I add some drops of EO in the wash to help do you think?? Or is it just something that I should put up with??

Any hints would be so appreciated..

I have that issue with MAs but blame it on microfibre - we are not friends and I find that it holds smells for us.

I have tried a rinse with the Dettol stuff but found it really made no huge difference....just something to put up with I guess.

Thanks for the reply Hayley! yeh, guess I'll just put up with my stinky-winky Magic-Alls lol

I find it a bit, but mostly only if I'd had to resort to using the dryer. Hanging them out usually sorts it. But I only use a very small amount of detergent and do an extra rinse so maybe that helps.

Have you tried chucking some vinegar in during the rinse cycle?

[StrawberryMumma]

Dach- no I haven't. Thanks for the idea

Are you doing a pre rinse? Give that a go if you're not.

Vinegar is alright for occasional use but don't use it too often as the acidity can shorten the life of the elastic so I have heard.

Yeh Sam, I do a pre rinse. Thanks for the thought anyway.

They have been like this since the very first time I used them, and smell great after a wash, but once they are wee-d in they turn evil!

Have you tried a hot strip wash with a bit of dsihwashing detergent? Just a smidge, and rinse well.
Vinegar is ok occasionally but don't make a habit of it.
