I washed my diapers today but didn't notice that my air freshener that is in the lid of my diaper pail had fallen into the bag. It is one of the lavender scented baking soda room fresheners like this:

Please tell me I didn't ruin my diapers! I have the bum genius 4.0 pocket diapers, a few hemp inserts, and some charcoal bamboo inserts.

Is it a solid inside? I doubt you ruined them! I'd just do your wash routine once again with detergent, and another time with no detergent.

Are they just baking soda & lavender oil? If there aren't any other ingredients then I'd say they were fine considering both of those can be used in homemade soaps & CD wipe solutions...

I did that once too! Same diaper type, same air freshener. 
I think I just did an extra cycle with no detergent to rinse them out. I never had any problems.

@runsyellowlites: It says it contains polyester, baking soda, and fragrance...
@grizz: I just finished the super long cycle of washing my diapers, looks like I get to start all over! But as long as I didn't ruin them, I'm fine with it!

@JoyfulKiwi: Oh good! At least I'm not the only one! I must make sure to secure it better to the lid next time!

I wash with baking soda so that part is fine. Fragrance won't hurt them but you probably want to rinse out.

I did the exact same thing once. I ran an extra rinse and never had a problem!
