Spraying inserts?
I’ve been cloth diapering for 3.5 years. I use a 6 layer bamboo/cotton/ hemp diaper. I’ve been trying to figure out my stink issue with the pattern I’ve recognized.
No stink as a baby, hit toddler stage stink. Potty trained my oldest, same thing, no stink as a baby, hit toddler stage stink.
I recently stripped the entire collection (RLR was somewhat disappointing the first was slightly cloudy the second was clear, nothing like the satisfying pictures I’ve seen), did 50,000 rinse cycles, a single bleach sanitize wash at the end etc. they were essentially as clean as new.
We’ve been good, no smells for about a month, and yesterday it came back. The only thing I can think is… I didn’t spray the insert after a poopy diaper? More back story: I use disposables overnight, and the toddler now poops first thing in the morning, but was slightly off schedule yesterday and pooped in the afternoon.
Everything I’ve read about spraying diapers though, it seems like if it’s ploppable you just do that, and are good to go. I always spray the pocket off until there is no color and leave the insert.
The only reason I’m doubting this as the reason for my stink is that the diaper was completely fresh, as soon as I put it on, he used it 🙄 and I immediately took care of it. Now it was a blueberry poop iykyk and some color transferred to the insert nearly immediately
TLDR is my stink problem because I’m an idiot who doesn’t spray inserts but should be?
