I've just done the loooooooonnnnggggg soakin in the tub strip method and omg the rinses lol But it's worked thank god. Mine were stinking after my dd had them on for only an 1 hr. we have really hard water here so I also use calgon in my soaking also. One thing I have noticed though, as all my nappies are being stripped dd is In disppossies and she has come out in a rash? Do u think she could be allergic?
