I use Rockin' Green, and when they get stinky I use their Funk Rock booster, it works really well! I also turn up my hot water tank before I wash them after the Funk Rock soak and add vinegar.

If my inserts are super gross (or to fight yeast) I boil them, but never the covers.

Some CD'ers recommend using the original blue dawn dish detergent for stripping. I think you can find some info by just doing an internet search.

What kind of diapers do you have? I'd caution you not to use your sanitize cycle if you are stripping pocket diapers because the water can be too hot and wear the PUL much faster (this was a mistake I made).

The only truly effective stripping method I've found for detergent buildup is the following: fill your bathtub about 1/3 to 1/2 way with hot (very hot) water. Add 1/4-1/2 cup of bleach (not everyone agrees with this as it can be hard on the elastic) or bac-out and 1 tbsp. of original blue dawn dishwashing liquid. Stir and dump in the pockets and stir them all in so they get wet. I let them sit for about 30-45 minutes (mostly so the water cools down enough) and then take a fingernail brush or other medium bristled brush and scrub each individual fleece lining. Sometimes I put a tiny drop of dawn on the fleece itself and scrub that in. I place each scrubbed diaper in a 5-gal bucket so I can keep the scrubbed diapers separate from the unscrubbed diapers. Once done scrubbing, I drain the tub and rinse it free of soap suds and then refill it and dump the diapers back in the hot water and swirl and swish so they all get a good rinsing. Then I take them all to the washing machine and rinse them again just for good measure (we had detergent build up bad with RnG [classic and soft rock] until we switched to Tiny Bubbles). Sometimes you might want to do two quick rinses if you still see suds in the washer during the rinse. Then dry like normal.

For the inserts I've boiled mine on the stove in a big soup pot full of water. Usually it is just the fleece that I've had repelling issues on, not the microfiber or bamboo insert so just stripping the pocket covers works most of the time.
