myth 1: all cloth diapers smell horrible. A cloth diaper that is being washed and cared for properly does not smell. 👃 IF your cloth diapers smell before or immediately after baby soils it, your diapers are not clean and we should talk about adjusting your wash routine. Tips for getting a good clean: ✅ Choose a detergent that has both enzymes and surfactants. My fav is Tide. ✅ Wash TWICE. We recommend two full cycles WITH detergent. ✅ Ensure you’re washing a full load OR bulking the second cycle with additional laundry. (Towels or baby clothes are popular choices.) ✅ If you have hard water, make sure you’re incorporating a water softening product like Calgon to every laundry cycle to prevent build up and help your detergent do its job effectively. #clothdiapers #washingclothdiapers #laundry #mythbusters #parenthood
