I have just started using hemp BBH multifits and they are a bit whiffy. But that's all I could afford really, I have flats as well, they are good too. Both the hemp MCN's and bamboo flats dry quickly, it helps I'm in Brisbane but I am drying them on a balcony.
When I strip wash I use a hot rinse, then a hot wash using a tiny tiny bit of dishwashing detergent, then two more rinses. Then outside in the sun. I know this time of year isn't great for sun for you guys, but an airer near a window will do similar.
Sometimes if they are really average I repeat this process once they are dry.
I am not a fan of Rocking Green at all (but we have really hard water here, even using their hard water version), but I know lots are.
Cosistent use of a dryer will make any nappy stink.
What is the insert of the Wonderoos made out of?
I found my microfibre inserts sometimes just stink after a time and nothing I can do stops it.
Though saying that I have stopped using my bamboo BBHs fitteds cos DS just outwees the double booster in a heartbeat...must get around to selling them.
Sandy's are awesome My nappies get a bit smelly sometimes, regardless of how recent a strip wash was. I can't really work out why. I can't pin it down to a particular detergent, as I change pretty often. I'm really cautious about not using too much detergent, and I think sometimes I actually don't use enough. If you use none, I think a 40 degree warm wash is the best.
Time in the sun definitely helps. A lot. If no sun, then even just fresh air is really good.
Strip washing: one drop of dishwashing liquid or hand soap in a hot (60 degree) wash. Then rinse, and rinse, and rinse, until all the suds are gone.
Thanks guys! I will try all your advice! I am going back to the Sandys. Just need another wrap because we always seem to run out which makes them inconvenient but apart from that I love them.
