I don't really know for 100% sure that we had yeast. I think that's what it was. After all kinds of troubleshooting, I finally gave up on cloth and switched to sposies. And the cloth dipes have been sitting in a laundry basket in my house, waiting on my best intentions to get around to stripping/baking/boiling/sunning/whatever nonsense it is that I'm going to have to do...for about, oh...

16 months now :bag

I really need to do something with them. Do I still need to mount some sort of crazy attack against the yeast? Will hanging them in the sun for several days do the trick? Part of why I have procrastinated so long is because I don't know what to do and I don't want to deal with it. Some are prefolds/fitteds I could boil. But a lot are pockets which I'm afraid to boil/bake/use bleach on.

I have Bac-Out...does that help with yeast? OxiClean? other suggestions?

Okay, I found an old thread about yeast in diapers. I hope my link will work:

Bac-out and Vinegar are your best options- and sunning.
