Cloth Diapers and Dawn Dish Soap

I tried using Dawn to "strip" my diapers of their mild stink today and it worked so well! The directions on the Cottonbabies site said to use warm water but I forgot and it worked anyway. Now they're all smelling nice and fresh and are really white. I didn't think that they were getting dingy at all, but this really brightened them up. I'll link to the site when I'm back at work since the Mac doesn't let me do such things.

Good news on the sewing front! I ordered a zig zag attachment for my Singer yesterday. I can't wait for it to get here so I can learn how to use it. Then I can make my cloth diaper kit and I'm going to try to shorten some of my prefolds. I hope it works because I hate the bulk of folding them over.

One of these days I will have something other than cloth diapers to talk about. Does real conversation still exist in this world? I'm really not sure anymore.

Oh my word! I've had the same problem with prefolds and I ran them through my serger to shorten and hem them. What a coincidence!

You're the second person who has said that stripping the diapers with Dawn works. I'm so glad to hear it.

I love the diaper talk. :)
