Theres a few things you can try:
- adding baking soda and/or white vinegar to the wash - giving them a scrub with dishwashing liquid - washing with dettol or canestan |

Try the detol in wash stuff, its great! Smells really nice and gets rid if those nasty smells! My inserts get smelly if I don't use it atleast once a week.  ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">

I have been hearing a bit about vinegar and baking soda deteriorating the elastic on nappies with prolonged use, so not something I recommend any longer. Bum Genius warranty is void with the use of these so just be careful if you have these nappies!
I would suggest using a scrubbing brush and dishwashing detergent (eco friendly)and scrub the nappy that way. |

Ooh close shave! I was going to strip my nappies tonight and half of them are BG. Thanks Karyn I'll go the dishwashing liquid route. -------------
