Stripping You're GreenCheeks Diapers

Wash after wash a little deteregent builds up on the cloth diapers. After a few months your diapers may feel filmy and don't look as good as they did when you first bought them. This is from detergent build up and you need to strip your diapers. I do this about every six months.

You need:

Blue Dawn Dish Soap original scent. Yes, it has to be the blue kind. It's the only one that isn't antibacterial or anything else. Dawn gets out oils in the diaper. 

AND

Color Safe Bleach. This must be used on GreenCheeks Diapers because of the colored lining. For some reason chlorine bleach does not alter the PUL but it does damage the lining. For this reason only use Color safe bleach. On inserts and prefolds cholorine bleach can be used.

What to do:

1. Wash once in hot water with one teaspoon (for high efficiency machines) to one tablespoon (for regular washing machines) with original liquid Dawn (blue formula) and up to 1/2 cup color safe bleach in the wash cycle.
2. Do two additional hot water washes with no detergent to completely rinse the diapers clean. If you still see suds, keep rinsing until the diapers are rinsed clean.

You should be able to tell a big difference in how your diapers look and feel after stripping them of detergent build up.
