Diaper Swappers

Holly dolly · 06-01-2012, 12:29 PM

I've been fighting ammonia so I picked up some ALL powder today and am rewashing all my dipes. I just realized its not HE. I used up to the 2 line and my HE FLer is FULL to the top with bubbles!!!

what do I do???

Um... Is it still running? If not, I'd rinse until bubbles are gone.

A laundry mat owner says to add fabric softener. This helps to get rid of the bubbles. He uses this when his customers use to much detergent in his front loaders.

It's still running. I've heard horror stories about people burning out pumps because of too much bubbles. I ran a drain/spin cycle and it's a bit better. I'm going to start another cycle now though. Hopefully they rinse out well.

Guess I'll be found diaper laundry ALL day.

I did that with non HE tide lol. Scoop out any bubbles with a bucket, add vinegar and rinse. Should solve your stink!!

Started another cycle and it immediately filled with bubbles again. I'm doing another drain/spin and then I'll try rinsing them in my tub.

I don't have any white vinegar left

can I use cider vinegar???

I don't think I would...

Add 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar to rinse cycle and wash them once more on hot with no soap

I wouldnt use apple vin. I heard it can stain

I don't have white vinegar.

I rinsed them in my tub and got a TON of bubbles out. I'm going to rinse out my washer a bit then wash them again with some ecover. Hope this works!!!
