As to Free and Clear detergents causing build up, I think this really only applies to pocket diapers because they are made with microfiber instead of cotton. I've been using a basic, cheap, free and clear detergent on my prefolds for years and have never had any problem with build-up or decreased absorbancy. Becca, if your BGs stink, you might actually be using too much detergent. Reduce your amount of detergent to 1/4 of the regular amount per load, and make sure you do an extra rinse after your hot cycle. Take them out and sniff them before you dry--if they don't smell fresh and clean, try doing another hot cycle and extra rinse *without any detergent*. Airing out in the sun can help as well. I've never seen cloth diaper washing as being that difficult of a thing, but I guess a lot of people do. Do you think that's the reason that more people don't use cloth? I'm actually doing some research about the kinds of diapers that parents use and why. I'd love to include your and your readers' opinions in my study. You can participate by taking my diaper survey: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cjVCME83a3hKZ1Vzb0t0VENSQVRjLUE6MA.. Thanks In Advance! Thanks for this!

I was searching around earlier today for info on how to 'get the stink out' of my BGs and found some great info on another page but this is much more succinct. We have very hard water here and maybe I AM using too much powder...like you say it goes against the grain to use LESS if you want it cleaner...! I tried prefolds but just didn't like them. I WANTED to like them but I didn't. :-( I have all BGs now and this stink problem is driving me up the wall. It's hard to convince your friends that cloth diapering is *GREAT!* when your whole house seems to stink like pee... this is a really good post with a lot of info.

I did not cloth diaper until my kids were older so I have been rather nervous about cloth diapering an infant. Your posts make it seem a lot less complicated than I was making it in my mind.
