I just dry-pail and launder my cloth wipes the same way I do with my MCN. They always come up clean and fresh-smelling. It's just poo - it washes out, the same way that food would. Every now and then I'll throw some Dettol sanitiser through the rinse cycle in my machine, just to kill any nasties, but I certainly don't do it every wash. Just think - when you go to the toilet, you only wash your hands with soap afterwards. You don't soak them in napisan and rinse them in bleach lol.

I have to agree with Janie too - the thought of soaking them and having all my wipes/nappies percolating in bacteria-laden water really isn't very appealing to me at all.
