my inserts don't smell so good...I have tried stripping them, hot washing them, washing with normal amount of eco liquid then washing again with nothing and they still smell.... I really don't know what to do and I can't afford to buy new ones so i need these fixed... any ideas would be great

I had stinky inserts and found that putting Canestan in the wash made a big difference

Or Detoll works wonders. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I found Detol worked really well after Stacey suggested it. I put a capful in my fabric softener compartment once a week - I love the smell! 
Stacey - I just noticed your new ticker - congrats!! I hope you have a healthy & uneventful next 8mths!

and if they're really bad and that doesn't work try scrubbing them with washing up liquid then rinse really well. This will get rid of any build up as well as smells 
Also, every so often I put a couple of drops of tea tree in the rinse cycle. Good for anti-bac and smells ------------- http://lilypie.com">

When mine get a bit stinky AI was as normal then out about 4-6 cap fulls of white vinegar in the washing machine and double rinse and they always seem to smell fine after that. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Was danni-chick Mum to James My Angel 28/07/08 |

Yeah, tea tree oil is great. You could even just soak them in it ------------- Lindsey
