Stripping Diapers There are three basic ways to strip diapers. Try one
method. If it doesn’t work, try the next. Always start with clean diapers.
1. Wash on hot with no detergent. Watch for bubbles during the agitating cycle. Continue doing hot
washes until there are no more bubbles. This method is good for curing
detergent buildup.
2. Wash on hot with a squirt of Dawn. I’ve heard that Dawn works the best. Follow with several
rinses until the bubbles are gone. This method is especially good for rash
cream buildup.
3. Wash on hot with two scoops of Baby Oxyclean. I have used both Baby and Original and find that
Baby works best on baby stains. I’ve heard it suggested to add a pot of boiling water to the load if you’re using the Oxy. Again, follow with several rinses.
4. If you only need to strip hemp inserts, you can boil them on the stove. Boil for 20 minutes.
