More on cloth diapering

I wrote an article on cloth diapering in January 2014. Check out the link to the original article here:

Aside from the care of your cloth diaper, there will come a time when you will have to "strip" the cloth diapers.  How will you know when it's time to strip your cloth diapers already? 

1. After six months of continued use.
2. When the smell does not go away even if you wash and re-wash it.
3. When the absorbency of the cloth diaper is affected already (e.g. when "leaks" start occurring, often!).

When any of these are present in your cloth diaper, then it is time to strip the cloth diaper.  I was advised by a friend to use RLR laundry treatment (pic 1).  It was very hard to purchase this laundry treatment though, as I had to source it from the U.S.  But it was quite effective.

 Three years and two kids later, the cloth diapers are still doing its job very well!
