Stripwash Diapers

Stripping with Rockin' Green

 

Stripwash is a way to get rid of built up minerals and detergent, which is known to cause diaper rash, smell and repelling issues. To remove built up minerals and detergent residues from your diapers, you can "Rock a Soak" with Rockin Green Detergent and have great results with very little effort!

 

Follow simple steps below for stripping (the steps are included on every pack of Rockin' Green):

 

 

In a top-loader:

• Dissolve 3 Tbsp of Rockin' Green soap in a washer full of your hottest water (not > 60degC).
• Add all the 'clean' diapers and inserts (i.e. ones that have already been washed free of urine & poo). Ideally not more than 15 sets of diapers per load.
• Allow to soak for 30-60 minutes at a minimum. If buildup is bad, leave diapers (non PUL/TPU items) soaking for several hours or even overnight.
• Once the soak is finished, launder your diapers as usual, but do not add any extra detergent.
• Add a few extra rinses to get rid of any extra suds and gunk.

 

** If your washer does not have hot wash option, you can use the method for “front-loader”.

 

 

In a front-loader:

• Dissolve 3 Tbsp of Rockin' Green soap in a basin/bathtub/pail full of your hottest water (not > 60degC). It is quite tricky to get a good soak in front loader. So we recommend using the bathtub/pail.
• Add all the 'clean' diapers and inserts (i.e. ones that have already been washed free of urine & poo). Ideally not more than 15 sets of diapers per load.
• Allow to soak for 30-60 minutes at a minimum. If buildup is bad, leave diapers (non PUL/TPU items) soaking for several hours or even overnight.
• Once the soak is finished, launder your diapers as usual, but do not add any extra detergent.
• Add a few extra rinses to get rid of any extra suds and gunk.
   

 

Disclaimer!

• It is important to pay special attention to the fabrics that you are soaking however, to make sure that you are getting the most out of your diaper purchases. Generally things that contain PUL/TPU or natural fibers require special care, and should not be soaked more than once a month and only for short periods of time. Things like microfiber are able to be soaked for longer periods, and are usually the cause of smell issues. So concentrate your efforts on those items.
• We recommend soaking for no more than 30-60 minutes, and only on an as-needed basis. We do not recommend soaking before every wash or wetpailing.
• Disclaimer: Items like PUL or TPU need to be washed with care, so please refer to the manufacturers washing instructions for more details. Avoid excessive soaking of PUL/TPU and natural fibers to extend their life span.
