    I had this problem awhile ago. My clothesline is undercover but I now put the nappies on a clotheshorse & sit them in the sun. Don't have that wee smell anymore.
    Oh & we use Amolin for all washing here.

    yeah i think the sun has alot to do with it. when we moved to the new place we were soo impressed by how crisp smelling they were when we brought them in. i attribute it to mr sun

    I've got a website I can PM you with different laundry soaps for cloth diapers. It's North American, I think, so I'm not sure if all the brands will be available in Aus, but I'll send it anyways. Hope it helps!

    Thanks ladies,

    I tried adding the Bicarb and that has definately helped with the smell, I am going to look out for the liquid with it already added.I always sundry the nappies but in winter they end up inside alot because sometimes they just don't dry during the day. I was wondering what you meant when you said you added Canastan? What is this?
