Diaper Stink

We've been CDing for 4 months now. Our stash is a mix of new and used diapers. Lately our bathroom where we keep our wet bag has been stinking even right after we wash diapers. The diapers still seem to have a slight smell when they come out of the washer too. Any thoughts as to why this is? Is it time to strip, change detergent I use Lulu's, or what? I wash every other day btw. Thanks!

If you have stink right out of the washer, your diapers aren't getting clean.

Try a new detergent. Tide powder is great for keeping stink away.

Also, what does your wash routine look like? There may be some things you can do with that to help.

I do the standard rinse, hot wash, double rinse. I know a lot of the ladies on here use Tide, but I've read from several places not to use it. I am almost out so I'll try another brand next.
