What do you use to wash your diapers with? (which brand detergent, any other things like vinegar, baking soda, etc)

What is your washing routine? (how often, # of cold/hot rinse/washes, etc)

We have well water and the sulfur smell seems to be affecting the smell of the dipes after they've been washed. They also still stink of poop even when washed often, with an extra rinse before the wash cycle starts and after to make sure all the detergent got out. I don't know what to do to make the smell go away. I've been using the same 12 FB diapers for 6 months now. Any suggestions? TIA

I'm not sure what to tell you Mandy, but I would email Tereson and see what she suggests you do.

Just curious, did Tereson give you any advice? Did she suggest Calgon?

No, I never ended up emailing her. I read over her whole website and did everything it suggested and just ended up giving up. Maybe my nose is just supper-sensitive right now. I got the diapers to smell decent enough and I'm selling them all off right now. It's been too much of a pain since we moved into this house to make it worth CDing right now...I enjoyed it while it lasted.
