I do a whole series of rinses cause I've got a front loader. Or you could just have a squizz in the top of the machine. I rinse until I don't see bubbles.
I think that basically is the way to do it though. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Is this stripping the same for if you were like me and used zinc cream on baby bum and didn't realise it was gonna make them non absorbant 
Or do I have to do something special?? -------------

Natcats, what I'd do in your case is put a little bit of dishwashing liquid on the bit that was against the bum/zinc & give it a scrub with a brush & then do the steps above.
I'm trying to think of the website that had the stripping info on it! ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

I think my diapers have detergent buildup. What should I do?
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 bleach in the wash cycle. 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. That is from the bum genius website, there is a similar thing on the itti bitti website too. You definately need to scrub to get zinc out! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
