How to Get Rid of Yeast on Cloth Diapers

It’s one word that can strike fear into the heart of any parent. We’ve all heard the nightmare stories of reinfections and constant cycles of treatment…

YEAST…

But let’s get a little real for a minute.

The nightmares we read about online and hear from other parents are sometimes a little exaggerated. Kind of like ‘the fish was **THIS** big’ stories that fishermen sometimes tell. ;)

If you handle this the right way the first time, you shouldn’t have an unending cycle of yeast infections on your baby.

How to Get Rid of Yeast on Cloth Diapers

It’s important to know if the rash you are dealing with is really yeast in the first place. Other rashes often look similar and can be misdiagnosed as yeast. Consult this post for descriptions of a few common baby rashes and see if your little one’s rash looks anything like one described.  If you can’t figure out what a rash is or it isn’t clearing up, call your pediatrician.

If you are looking for more information on treating yeast on your baby, you should check this out: Killing the Dreaded Yeast Monster.

How to get rid of the yeast on cloth diapers: 

You need to decide if you are going to continue to use your cloth diapers or go with disposables during treatment.

  • If you use disposable diapers, you only need to treat the cloth diapers once.
  • If you choose to stay in cloth, be sure you are using a liner with the treatment cream if it’s a prescription or not otherwise CD safe. A cut up t-shirt will work as a liner. You can also purchase a disposable liner that is something like this. You will have to treat cloth diapers each time they are washed while treating the yeast on your baby. Depending how often you are washing and how long the treatment lasts, this could be 2-3 times. Continue to treat diapers for at least 1 week after yeast rash has completely healed to prevent a recurrence.

Every family’s needs are different and either way will work. Go with what works best for you and your family. There is no wrong answer here.

How to treat your cloth diapers with bleach

Make sure your cloth diapers are washed before proceeding to step 1. Bleach soaks should not be done on soiled diapers.

Step 1: I recommend using warm or hot water (although cold will work.)  You may have read that bleach disinfection must only be done in cold water. That is not the case as it will work in any water temp. Click here for further documentation on this. Dilute your bleach in the water FIRST before adding your cloth diapers. Be careful to not splash the bleach.

Step 2: Soak for 15 minutes. Longer soak times are unnecessary and can cause premature wear to your diapers.

Step 3: Rinse diapers until bleach odor is gone. You can do this with hot rinses in the washing machine or in your tub under the facet. You may have to rinse a few times to get the odor completely out.

Here are the dilution ratios:

Top Loader (Non-HE):  Small- 1/3 cup, Medium – 1/2 cup, Large/XL- 3/4 cup
Top loader   (HE)           Small- 1/4 cup, Medium- 1/3 cup, Large- 1/2 cup
Regular Bathtub            1/4/ full – 1/4 cup, 1/2 full- 1/2 cup
Garden Bathtub             1/4 full – 1/2 cup
Bucket:                             1 Tablespoon per gallon of water
Tip: Wear gloves if soaking or rinsing in a tub, sink or bucket. Make sure all items are fully submerged in bleach water. Agitate the diapers around gently before soaking to make sure everything is wet and mixed in properly.

Grapefruit Seed Extract: synthesized from the seeds and pulp of the grapefruit, it’s a very broad spectrum microbicide, bactericide, fungicide, antiparasitic, and anti-viral.

It is expensive, so the other options on here are far more economical for other disinfecting, but when it comes to yeast – this is the single most effective way to stop it in its tracks on your clothing and cloth diapers. You can buy it at your local health food store or on Amazon.

This is not a natural alternative. There are limited studies, but the existing ones point to the preservatives in GSE and not the actual GSE being the disinfectant. So I will say that this is an effective option, but not a natural one. GSE will not fade non-colorfast knit and cotton fabrics making it a good alternative to bleach.

For more evidence of GSE as a disinfecting agent, please see:

  •  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12165191
  • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15610620
  • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20411504
  • http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf0514064

How to disinfect using Grapefruit Seed Extract

For disinfecting: 2 tablespoons of GSE for up to a large load of laundry. This may be added right to the main wash cycle with whatever detergent you are using. Wash and dry normally.


Hydrogen Peroxide: This is a liquid oxygen bleach and breaks down into water and oxygen.

Use a 3 % solution (what is normally available at most drugstores)

Be aware that hydrogen peroxide can damage fabrics the same way bleach can, so test for colorfastness and never pour directly on your clothes or cloth diapers.

**If you can’t use bleach or GSE due to sensitivities, you can also use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect. Please go here for more details and directions.**

I’d love to hear from you! Has your child ever had a yeast infection? How did you effectively treat it?

    So GSE can be used instead of bleach? Then I would just add the 2 tbsp into the detergent compartment with the detergent and run a hot cycle?

    I have a front load washer so a bleach soak would have to be done in the tub upstairs and transferring a load of wet diapers downstairs to the washer just seems exhausting so if I can just use GSE for a yeast treatment that sounds so much more appealing.

    I have a he front load washer, after my initial bleach soak can I just add bleach to my washer with each load or do I need to continue a bleach soak every time I wash? I really don’t want to ruin my diapers by using bleach in my washer and was just wondering if anyone has done it this way without messing up the diapers, also how long do I continue to bleach for?

    • blankJennifer Reinhardt says

      August 2, 2019 at 3:40 pm

      If the cycle is at least 15 minutes it should be ok. You’d need to bleach after each wearing until the rash is completely gone plus a few more days. So it’s usually two weeks or so. Bleaching is hard on the diapers. It’s something to consider when deciding what to do.

    When my triplets had yeast in cloth, I tried EVERYTHING to get it to go away. Bleach soaks (multiple times) did not work at all. I finally stumbled upon Grapefruit Seed Extract when researching ways to kill yeast spores and ordered a bottle. That stuff is a miracle! It’s the only thing that worked for us. It actually takes very little GSE to be effective. One small bottle has lasted us for over 2 years. (We’ve only had yeast once, but it was a bear; now we use the GSE for laundry and other disinfecting purposes when we have strep and other infections.) During the yeast breakout, I used 50 drops directly into the tub of the washer during the hot wash cycle. I also used 5 drops per ounce of water in my wipes solution to use on the babies. Diluted to that amount, it didn’t hurt the girls’ skin, and it cleared up the rash. AMAZING.

    My two year old has suffered with severe eczema in his diaper area. We’ve been to his pediatricians office more than 9 times and have literally been thru every doctor there. They all have suggested their own treatments,creams and oils. After switching to cloth his eczema calmed down but it was short lived. He screams and cries constantly and wakes up multiple times during the night from itching. This momma is at her wits end!!. I want him to enjoy being a “normal two year old!”

    We had a problem with a yeast rash when my little guy was about 3 months. It felt like it lasted forever and was really frustrating. We ended up switching to disposable diapers for aatime, so I could bleach our stash. I then used liners and lotrimin to get rid of it.

    My DH and LO both have severe eczema. When I first got with DH the doctors had him on a prescription lotion that was actually making his eczema worse! I got him into using natural products, and he is sooo much better! We would love to try the Pooters skin therapy though!

    I was just reading this in my email! I’d love this balm because we’re currently fighting yeast and have been for two weeks. I’m afraid the antibiotic isn’t going to do the trick!

      Is it possible the rash isn’t really yeast. Sometimes people need a pediatric dermatologist to get to the bottom of an ongoing skin issue. Good Luck!

    This looks wonderful! Luckily we’ve never struggled with yeast, but my son has always had eczema. It’s a long term struggle for sure! Now I want to try this :)

    We are fighting eczema and we haven’t found anything that works yet. Trying to find a topical solution is becoming expensive. My son has gotten to the age where he can’t keep his claws off, so along with the dry itchy patches, he sometimes has sores. I feel so bad for him, I hope to find a solution soon!

    We need poorers because we have been battling a reoccurring rash that blisters with yeast treatments and steroids for pain and still nothing … Little one is allergic to disposable diapers and the doctors are sure I must be reinfecting her with the cloth going to see about that oil !!!

      Katie, I am personally not a bleach user. I’ve never had the need. I’ve always found another way to deal with any issue I was having. As moms we always have so much going on. Our diapers shouldn’t add to our already heavy load <3

    I need this rash cream because my daughter gets yeast infections quite often and both of my kids share diapers so she ends up sharing the infection with her brother before I catch it. It’s extremely hard to get rid of the ones she gets. This would be an absolute blessing to us!

      Clearing your baby’s rash is important Laura. If you went to the doctor and he gave you an RX, it’s ok to use it. We all do whatever we can to keep our children healthy. I understand you want to try to stay as natural as possible. But if you don’t have anything else on hand, use what you have to heal. <3

      Try coconut oil! Straight raw organic coconut oil! A little goes a long way so don’t cake it on but it works! I’ve been prescribed Nystatin for my LO’s before and tried CO and got faster results for the littles! Which was better on me too since I didn’t have to feel so bad for it hurting them longer every time I had to wipe them with every diaper change. :)

    Thank you for actually providing good bleaching instructions. Yeast is nothing to mess with and glitter and prayer isn’t going to help it. There is entirely too much bad advice out there.

      Rebecca, Thanks for commenting! There is plenty of good advice out there as well. It is up to us as consumers and parents to do thorough research and use common sense before making a decision that affects our family. But remember there is never only one way to do anything. That is just not how the world works. Personally, if I were treating yeast I wouldn’t use bleach , I’d go the GSE route. :)

      So is it just me or does the GSE seem like the easiest way to go? Simply add it into the wash with the diapers and the yeast and spores will be eliminated?
