How to Get the Stank out of Cloth Diapers

I use cloth diapers with my youngest son. Lately, they've developed a very strong stank. There's just no other way to put it ... they smell like crap.

I have several friends who cloth diaper and they never complain about this problem. They suggested Oxiclean, sun bleaching, and a few other things. I've tried them. The diapers still smell.

I tossed a 1/2 cup of baking soda in the wash. I put vinegar in the fabric softener compartment. The diapers were 80 percent less stanky after that wash. They've now been washed a second time in that concoction ... good as new.

I used this same combo with my towels, and they are quite a bit fluffier.

Dear Baking Soda and Vinegar: I love you.
