This is our routine: warm rinse, hot wash with detergent (heavy cycle) extra cold rinse. I also use Ecos free and clear, which is cloth diaper approved. If all else fails, try stripping them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diapers-in-he-top-loadee#post-2208371 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 07:06:46 +0000 Lilbear 2208371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: nope - only hot water.

Could it be your detergent? We use Charlie's soap powder and only hot water. Once a month we also add a cup of beach to strip the diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diapers-in-he-top-loadee#post-2208358 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 06:42:46 +0000 knittylady 2208358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't seem to get my dipes clean in our new he top loader.
