I'm not positive about the diapers, but I have the best diaper rash cream ever there is no mineral oil in it so it's not goopy, you don't need much of it and it lasts forever. It's Arbonne ABC Diaper Rash Cream.

If you can find something that will break up mineral oil/petroleum jelly from the other diaper creams, you may have something to help with the diapers. Lots Baking soda in hot water, then wash diapers by hand with liquid soap 4 or 5 times may help.

Have you tried using Rockin Green detergent? That stuff is amazing and it has done a great job in getting vaseline (which I use for diaper rash) out of my diapers. It does a great job of stripping diapers and it smells great!!!

I got these instructions sent from a rep for Cotton Babies (Bum Genius). They have worked AMAZING for stripping diapers, odor issues, leaking issues, stains!!!! I have used them on all of my diapers (bum genius, bamboo baby, FLIP, HH, Rumparooz, pre-folds, ect.) Try it out!

BASIC WASHING ROUTINE:

Remove solids and store soiled diapers in a dry pail designed for cloth diapers (a pail with a vent in the lid). Do not soak cloth diapers.

1. Wash the entire load on the normal cycle, on cold with � of the detergent manufacturer's recommended amount. Washing (a full wash cycle, not a pre-wash) once on cold water is important to remove residue (even if it is not solid yet) from your diapers. This step also goes a long way to preventing stains.

2. Wash the entire load with the above-mentioned detergent amount again, on hot - no more than 150 degrees. (For recommended water heater settings, please check your local government regulations.)

3. Do a second rinse (any temperature you prefer).

4. Line dry covers - Dry inserts on regular.



Note: When washing just a few diapers in your machine, you will need to lower the amount of detergent to compensate for a lower water level. We intend these instructions for a full washtub of water.



STRIPPING:

Using the wrong detergent or too much detergent, using diaper creams, lotions, or oils without a barrier between the baby and the diaper will cause your diapers to leak and/or develop an odor. Washing your diapers every other day is important because the ammonia gases that build up in the diaper pail are caustic and will prematurely wear out elastic. Sometimes, you can see the signs of residue right away � but more commonly it will take a couple of months before you have any problems. If diaper covers are leaking or wicking because of a residue problem, or if repelling diapers are causing leaky messes, some people might just assume that their products are worn out or defective- without realizing that they actually have a problem with a solution! Same goes for smelly diapering products � remember that clean, residue free diapers and covers should never smell like either detergent or urine!

Simply follow our stripping instructions below. Be aware, depending on the severity of the problem, you may need to repeat the procedure a number of times. (Note: Diapers must be clean before stripping.)


FOR LEAKING ISSUES:

1. Wash once in hot water with Dawn liquid dish detergent in the original blue formula (yes, it must be Dawn). Use one tablespoon for regular top loaders and one teaspoon for high efficiency machines.

2. Do two additional hot water washes with no detergent, just clear water.

FOR SMELL OR TO DISINFECT:

1. First, strip your diapers, covers and inserts, following the first part of the stripping instructions for leaking issues (above). You do not need to do the two additional hot washes in the clear water, nor do you need to dry them.



2. Separate your covers from the inserts and wash inserts only, once in hot water with � cup of chlorine bleach for a top loader and � cup for a high efficiency machine.

3. Add your covers to the inserts and do two additional hot water washes with no detergent, just clear water.

4. Normally, covers do not hold odors as inserts can, so instructions that apply for leaking issues should take care of them.



As for rash creams, you may use the type of cream that you feel is necessary, or one that your doctor recommends. You will need to use a piece of fabric (or bumGenius Stay-Dry liner if you want to maintain the same stay-dry effect for your baby) between your baby's bottom and the diaper to prevent the cream from transferring onto the diapers. After use, wash the liners separately to avoid the oils in the creams or lotions from transferring to the diapers through the wash cycle. We have found that the bumGenius Bottom Cleaner works well for bottom cleaning during a diaper change and does not leave a residue in the diaper that will block absorbency. We do not recommend cornstarch or baby powder.


Hope it helps! My diapers come out looking, smelling and feeling new every time! I only do it when needed. Maybe once every couple of months!

Do a hot wash cycle and instead of using detergent use a tablespoon (if its a full load) of regular old dawn dish soap. To make sure all of the soap gets out put the diapers through one more cycle, no soap. Works every time. hope this helps. Lyndsey

Here's what I do:
1. Rinse in cold/Wash in hot as usual (Country Save detergent and Calgon water softner)
2. Turn up water heater, and let it do it's magic (half hour).
3. Fill up machine with hot water (I add a couple kettles of boiling water)
4. Add 1 tbsp of Dawn dishsoap (caution if you have a front-load, you may want to do this in the sink instead)
5. Let it agitate for a couple minutes to mix it all up
6. Let it soak for a while (I always forget about it, so it sits for a while)
7. Finish the wash cycle
8. Rinse it a few times until there are no bubbles left

All of these suggestions are great (and we never know what the magic bullet will be, it depends on the diaper). If the washing isn't working, you can also use Dawn- the original blue stuff- and a fingernail brush or surgical scrub brush like you can get from Lee Valley and scrub the microfleece (or whatever fabric it may be) both inside and out.
Rinse, rinse, rinse, and check your work (see if the material is holding water, if it soaks through, you're done). You may need to do this a couple of times to get through all the soaked in gloop. :)
I have had to do this before myself when my daughter got into some zinc cream and applied it to a bunch of her diapers.
Good luck!

Hi there

If the diapers are made with micro fleece... it's a no no to use anything like creams with them. Bummer. That's why I hate this fabric. Not only, it's unnatural and no one should place micro fleece against babies skin. This fabric causes more bum rash as well. WHAT... another reason why I hate this fabric. I make organic hemp diapers and I sell them to so many moms with this same problem. They never go back to use micro fleece. Smart, I think. Really, natural fabric is better for babies bums no matter why many times you try to reason with micro fleece. This is the worst fabric out there. As I have heard before... I would not want to wear micro fleece underwear. So I would not want my baby to wear this and pee in it. I hope this is helpful in some way.
