What Does Stripping Mean?

When you strip your cloth diapers you are deep cleaning and removing residue that may have built up from:

  • Hard water minerals that have built up
  • Leftover detergent that has built up

Continue to read below the instructions as I explain there are sometimes simpler things you can do before having to strip cloth diapers.

How to Strip Cloth Diapers

How to Strip Cloth Diapers

GroVia Mighty Bubbles are my personal favorite for stripping or if I want to deep clean cloth diapers.  It’s made in the USA and not tested on animals.

The ingredients listed are: Sodium carbonate, Sodium percarbonate, Sodium polyitaconate, Surfactants, Enzymes, Oxygen bleach activator, Sodium silicate. If you can get your hands on it, this is what I recommend to use to strip. Mighty Bubbles is also affordable.

Mighty Bubbles is available on Amazon, most cloth diaper boutiques, and directly on Grovia’s website.

You can also use RLR. I find that RLR really shines if you have issues with hard water.

You DO NOT need to add a water softener when stripping cloth diapers.

TIP If you aren’t sure if you have hard water or not, don’t worry. You can safely use GroVia Mighty Bubbles or RLR in any water type. It will just suds up more in softer water which may require additional rinses.

Directions for Stripping with GroVia Mighty Bubbles:

  1.  This must be done on already washed, clean cloth diapers.
  2. One Mighty Bubbles pod per 24 diapers (this is one full diaper including the cover, inserts, prefold, or flats.) If you have more than 24, do it in another separate load following the same directions.
  3. Use the longest, heavy duty wash cycle on hot and throw in one Mighty Bubbles pod. Do not add detergent or other additives. Do one extra hot rinse or wash cycle.
  4. If the cloth diapers still smell or seem to have issues such as causing rashes, repeat steps 2 and 3 (up to 3 times).
  5. Dry the diapers.
  • No need to soak with the Mighty Bubbles. GroVia strongly recommends against it. Their chemists created it to work right in your washing machine without all that extra time and effort. 
  • Keep pods away from children.

Directions for stripping with RLR :

  1.  This should be done on already washed, clean cloth diapers.
  2. One pack of RLR per large load. This is up to approximately 30 diapers.  If you have more than a full load, do it in another separate load following the same directions. If you have small or medium loads you may still use the full packet.
  3. Add the RLR and a very small amount of the detergent you normally use. No more than to the one line for up to 30 diapers. Use less for smaller loads. Remember, the diapers have already been washed.
  4. Wash on the longest, heavy duty, hot wash cycle available.
  5. If there are suds remaining after final rinse, run one additional hot rinse or short wash cycle.

Directions for stripping in Soft Water

In soft water situations, the issue is often detergent buildup. This usually occurs due to overuse of detergent in each wash load.

Run clean diapers through a HOT wash (must agitate). No detergent, no additives. Just cloth diapers and HOT water. If you can see in during the cycle, check after a few minutes of agitation, if you see suds…do another hot wash/rinse.  Continue until most suds are gone. Some bubbles are normal as there will always be air bubbles present. If you can’t see inside, then do at least 2 hot washes as described. More may be needed.

If you have a small number of diapers that need this treatment, you may also run under hotter water in your sink or bathtub. Squeeze the water out of the insert or diaper while doing so. Continue until all suds are gone.


When and Why Stipping Cloth Diapers is Needed

When to strip cloth diapers

  • They smell out of the wash, after drying or immediately after a pee. Again. Always try to adjust your wash routine first as no matter how you strip, if the issue with your routine isn’t fixed, the smell will just come right back.
  • They are leaking and you’ve already checked for a good fit and that you have enough absorbency. Leaking from hard water mineral build-up often presents itself with the insert still being dry in spots when it leaks. If it’s fully saturated then you need more absorbency.

Why to strip cloth diapers

1: Hard Water Mineral Buildup in Cloth Diapers

Hard water is determined by the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water. The more there is, the harder the water is considered. Very large amounts may not wash away in your laundry, leaving deposits on the fabric. For cloth diapers this leads to the inserts not absorbing correctly and leaks.

If you have existing buildup of anything crusty or discolored on your sinks, showers and toilets; hard water mineral build up may apply to you. You can purchase test strips to confirm. Anything above 180 ppm is considered very hard water.

HOWEVER…

… And this is SO IMPORTANT because this is one of those things that is overcomplicated in the cloth diaper industry.

80% of the US has some level of hard water. This does not mean 80% needs to use anything special to get clean laundry. Before you go down a long, complicated road of testing, stripping, and washing make sure it’s not something simple that is amiss.

2: Detergent Buildup in Cloth Diapers

Yes, detergent CAN buildup.

It is designed to rinse out when appropriate amounts are used. When too much detergent is used, excess suds are created. The extra suds create a buffer that prevents laundry items from rubbing together. Rubbing is a crucial part of how laundry, and cloth diapers, get clean.

This information comes from Tide,  you can see more details here.

Excess suds can also prevent impurities from being completely rinsed out of the machine properly. This means both the remaining detergent and whatever impurities (in this case pee and poop) are redeposited back on your diapers for next time.

So the problem snowballs. Every wash your cloth diapers will stink more and more and begin to have a barnyard smell. You baby also may begin to get red, sunburn looking rashes while wearing the cloth diapers.

Stripping is a last resort. If you have questions about washing cloth diapers go read our tutorial.

Final Thoughts

If you are stripping due to stink or rashes, no matter how you strip, if the underlying issue with your wash routine isn’t fixed, the problem will just come back. For info on fixing that, check out my top 10 tips on washing cloth diapers.

Addendum

Explanation of why I don’t recommend the DIY laundry strip recipe that you see floating around

The DIY recipe is basically just three different products that act as water softeners. They are washing soda, borax, and Calgon. To get all three you’ll easily spend $16 or MORE. Plus, you have measure out the ingredients and have to soak.

Yes, you will still have full packages of products to use. However, I really want you to keep something in mind. Remember when I said over 80% of the United States has some level of hard water. That DOES NOT mean that 80% needs to use a water softener to get clean laundry. Often a good detergent on its own is plenty.  Also, I’m not saying no one needs to soften their water. Because there are people that do. I’m just saying do your research first.

The DIY recipe is fine if that is what the actual issue is. Hard water mineral build up. But in my many years of dealing with cloth diapers I’ve found that people really had more issues with the actual wash routine and OVER usage of detergents. My hope is to give you the simplest info I can that works.

I polled people in my AACD Chat group on their preference. I asked if they had used either Mighty Bubbles or RLR AND also done a strip with the DIY recipe which they liked better. Over 100 people participated. 98 claimed GroVia Mighty Bubbles as their favorite for stripping cloth diapers. 13 selected RLR. And just 4 chose the DIY recipe.

    I’m curious what your thoughts are on Fluff Love University. I got a wash routine from them and slowly, but surely our diapers are starting to stink. My original routine started stinking, they had me add even more detergent and now it’s happening again. I was temporarily able to stop the stink by adding bleach to my prewash but now the majority of my diapers stink after a pre-wash and heavy-duty wash. They have me putting tide to the top of the cup for both washes and I’m thinking it’s just way too much detergent.

    After a couple years my prefolds are starting to smell like ammonia when peed in. Other websites are saying the detergents I’ve used (Ecos Free and Clear and Up and Up Free and Clear) contain sodium cocoate, which coats fabric. Does this substance build up in diapers, and would it wash away with just a hot rinse, or would it need a stripping agent? If I need to use a stripping agent, are you saying borax and washing powder would be ineffective, or just more expensive? I already own these products (not Calgon though, no hard water anywhere near here), and this is my last baby so I would not likely go through an entire package of Grovia Mighty Bubbles.

    Thank you for putting all this information together and helping moms like me!

      Sodium Coconate is a natural soap. While there are groups that claim this is dangerous for cloth, thousands have used those detergents on diapers successfully. What you are smelling means that the diapers aren’t getting clean in the wash. When that happens to me before I worry about a strip, I first try a deep clean. That can mean soaking the diapers for a minimum of 6 hours in detergent or something like oxiclean. Then washing. You might also try adjusting your wash routine. That could mean longer pre or main cycles. Hotter water, try it in the prewash as well. Make sure the machine isn’t over or underloaded. You can google that for your machine type for visual examples. And if you’ve haven’t cleaned the washer lately, do that. THere are great directions here on the site. I can’t link it here but it’s easy to find in the search bar. I wish you good luck! Comment again if you need help!

        Hi! I forgot I left this comment. Thank you for your response! Funny enough it seems I was using *too much* water in the rinse — is that possible? After adjusting my water level wayyy down to try to get the diapers to agitate more efficiently, I no longer smell ammonia. (I may have added an extra hot rinse too. Can’t remember! Basically if I go down to the basement and see a soapy-looking sink, I rinse again.)

        We’re currently battling a contact rash that doesn’t improve even with disposables and a generous slathering of barrier ointment (Aquaphor; zinc oxide makes it dry and angry looking). She has eczema patches on her legs and face and dry skin elsewhere, so I think she may just be very sensitive and taking a long time to heal.

          Using too much water is a real thing. It’s because the rubbing of the diapers actually helps to clean them. So when they is too much they just go for a swim. As for the rash, when I had ugly ones to deal with I layered creams. On the skin was a super healing one. I like Balm Baby or Earth Momma Angel Baby for that. Then on top a barrier cream. If zinc didn’t work, you may like something like Grandma El’s. It will stay on all night. Good Luck!

            I’ve used Grandma El’s since my older boys (10 and 7) were in diapers — that stuff is great, especially since it’s been awhile and I no longer reflexively associate that lovely fruity smell with poo, haha.

            I’m thinking the rash is just from wet diapers rubbing on her skin. When she’s in disposables she gets new rough spots from where those diapers rub, even though we’re changing frequently. Just a sensitive kid I guess. I will look up those creams you suggested. Thank you!

    Hi there,
    I just read your instructions for stripping cloth diapers but I was unclear of the instructions for stripping in soft water. You said to do a hot wash with no detergent or additives. Do you mean just mighty bubbles or rlr but nothing else, or just got water and absolutely nothing? (I have an HE front loader).
    I have a horrible smell build up in my cloth diapers and I did a bleach soak for too long and they smell worse than they did before. I am hoping a strip followed by a short bleach soak will help.
    Thanks!

    I need advice, please. I have been using medium prefolds for about six months and now my son is getting a rash and the diapers stink after one pee. I got my wash routine from Fluff Love and I think it may not be working. I usually have about 19 prefolds in an HE top loader. I use Tide free and gentle powder. I put the quickwash on small load, warm water, and the cap up to four. (five is max) The second is main wash, medium load with clothes, hot water, and a heaping cap (which is over 5). I have very soft water. Do I need to strip? Is it because they are not getting clean? Are they too clean and it’s detergent build up? Thank you!

      With soft water less is more with soap. And extra rinse cycle or two are needed. To strip them back try washing 2-3 ime in hot water only no soaps.

    Help! I am having trouble with my daughter getting rashes with her cloth diapers. The rash goes away immediately when I put her in disposables for a day or two. I assume its a build up in the diapers, and they did get a little ammonia smelling, so I stripped them with Mighty Bubbles but the problem persisted. I stripped them AGAIN with Mighty Bubbles and that time is seemed like at least the rash came on a little slower, over maybe 3 or 4 days? But still she got a rash. Do I need to strip them again? This has all been going down in the last 3 weeks or so and I was with Seventh Generation Power Plus detergent. I think I was initially not using enough detergent which caused the buildup – I am using now up to the 3 with the Quick Wash and then up to the 5 with the Normal wash. Any advice would be welcome, I’m nervous about wrecking the diapers with so many strips.

    We use pocket diapers. At first, I used mainly microfibre inserts, then I purchased hemp inserts. For the first two-three months, everything worked amazing. But then the troubles started. My son’s diaper would leak often within an hour of putting it on. I made sure they still fit properly etc., to no avail. After a while, I finally figured out that the diaper pants had gotten water repelling. (Sometimes his diaper had leaked, but there was barely any moisture in the insert.) I tried to strip them with bleach & Blue Dawn. To no avail. Now trying the Mighty Bubbles route and am adding Calgon to each wash. We live in an area with hard water, and I use Charlie’s Soap for washing. My guess is that it’s the hard water, but not sure. Also, it seems to be only the pants, not the inserts, that have become repellent, because I’ve used the hemp inserts in some of the Flip covers I have, without any issue. Assuming the hard water is the issue, but still super confused……. (Oh, and no stink or rashes.)

      Do you use charlies for everything? If not I’d try whatever detergent you use on your clothing. Also, make sure you point him down when putting the diaper on. And double check the elastic. Any gap at all will leak.

        I do! However, I wasn’t initially, because I didn’t know that it pulls out all the residue from everywhere. (And we were living in an apartment building with a shared washer on top of that.) So hopefully the MIghty Bubbles treatment will act as a kind of “reset.”

      Do you have any idea how long it stayed full? If it immediatly drained you probably need to soak in the tub. But if it was a while you might be ok not doing that.

    I am extremely new to cloth diapering. I believe I have hard water due to seeing build up on pots and pans and the shower head( I have not tested). I recently bought used diapers and want to clean/disinfect them before using. Is a wash with the mighty bubbles enough or do I need to bleach? How do I bleach All In Ones I dont want to discolor the outside…. also can you help with a wash routine…should use vinger or borax for a softener??? Whats the best detergent??? Ugh i have so many questions I’m on information overload from reading and watching videos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I’m not positive whether I have completely hard or soft water. I don’t have time to send water out for testing to find out. Can I safely use GroVia MB? Should I do hot water rinses first? I’ve adjusted all other aspects of washing (thanks for that post too!) to ensure the smell won’t return, but it’s this initial stripping to remove the smell I’m worried about.
    Also- when the diapers are first soiled and I change them, I’ve been keeping them in a bucket filled with water, baking soda & a squirt of laundry detergent. Could leaving them dirty in the water be contributing to my problem? I assumed leaving them “dry” would let the stains & smells sink in more… Please help! I didn’t now this would be so complicated-haha! Thanks ?

      Yes you can still use the mighty bubbles. If you have softer water you may just have to do an extra hot wash afterwards to get rid of the suds. It should be done on clean diapers and no more than 24 per load. If you are adding laundry detergent to each insert and then also when you are washing you might be using too much detergent. Have you tried dropping the detergent from the soiled inserts when you store them?

          You wouldn’t use the calgon any longer. And you would likely use much less detergent. I can’t really make recommendations as the amount is also based on load size. And something else to try is using the larger detergent amount in the prewash and then just a tiny bit in the main wash.

      80% of the US has some level of hard water. That does not mean 80% needs to add a water softener to get clean laundry. If you need it for your clothing to get clean, I would say go ahead and add it. But if you are only using it on your diapers, I suspect something else might be the cause of your issues. I would focus instead on increasing agitation and making sure you aren’t under of overloading the machine.

Mainly though you need to figure out what was causing the stink in the first place or the issue will just return. Have you checked out the washing tab here on the site yet? Thanks!

        I only have 22 pocket diapers and I because I use about 6 diapers a day I wash when I have about 6 diapers left to get the most in there which tends to be about every 3 days….my diapers are leaking some (more than just because it’s a full diaper though) and my daughter keeps getting weird rashes in her diaper area (like little red bumps all over after she pees….if she just does #2 there’s no red bumps and if I catch the pee diaper fast there no red bumps but I can’t always catch her right after she pees and those are the times the little red bumps appear. I think my problem is that my load isn’t big enough (I have a front loader) I’m washing between 12 and 16 diapers at a time along with 2 inserts per diaper plus my dirty diaper bag I keep them all in and (because my bag was a cheapy it leaks from the bottom corners) the towel I add to the bottom of the bag. My washer with all this is not even 1/2 full but close….my question is can I just add a few towels to make my load bigger or what do you suggest I add to my main wash to make my load bigger? (Here’s my wash routine in case anything needs improved here…. quick wash (cold water, heavy soiled, high speed) with tide free and gentle to line 1, about 32 minutes long… then my main wash is heavy duty (hot water, heavy soiled, high speed) with tide free and gentle to line 4 and vinegar in my softener spot, about 1 hour and 30 minutes…then I dry my inserts, bag, and towel in the dryer on low for 1 hour and hang dry the diapers in my bedroom in front of a fan because we have alot of birds and they like to go #2 on everything lol) also do you think just a few hot washes might strip my diapers or do you think I need to do a full on strip with bleach soak after? I did a full on strip with bleach soak a few months back when I was washing every other day and thought waiting longer would help but I still don’t think I’m putting enough in there, but I also don’t know what else to add…please help

          I would personally try using hot water in the prewash as well. And reduce the amount of detergent in the main wash. That’s too much for a small load. Maybe try line 2 or 3. You could also try adding other towels to the load but it should be smaller stuff as to still allow proper agitation and movement of the diapers.

I used All About Cloth Diapers when my oldest (now 5) developed an allergy around 6mo to disposable diapers. If it weren’t for this site, I would have switched back to disposables because I was having so many issues with fit and cleaning. This site really helped me to understand how to cloth diaper. I have used the big book every year even after my kids potty trained because there are so many amazing deals for everyday household and personal needs! So glad I found this site and the big book!

This is a great place to learn all there is to know about cloth diapers and the care of them. There is no right or wrong way to cloth diaper. All in one's may work best for one child but flats may work best for another child. You will understand how to care for your cloth diapers so they last you. There is a wealth of information on various brands and wool as well. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this site and I'm a member of the group on facebook. You should definitely check out the site!!!
