[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good advice here. You may also want to look at advice on washing baby cloth diapers for more ideas on laundry. You'll find that different people have success with different things depending on the type of fabric, type of washer, type of detergent, and hardness of water.

Generally, cotton fabrics hold smell a lot less than synthetics, but you still need to get the right wash routine to make sure that you get the clothes really clean.  If you have detergent buildup in the clothes, when she rewears them, any additional urine will immediately make them very stinky.

Here is what works for me:
All cotton
Front loader
Not sure about the hardness of water, but I am in moco, so that.
I put all the diapers in on a quick wash cycle with NO spin and a TBS of Country Save Detergent.  This means they are fully soaked when the cycle is done.
Then, I run a second cycle on heavy duty with 2TBS of detergent and an extra rinse. 
About once a month, I add a bit of bleach as well to clear out any lingering residue/bacteria.[/quote]
