The washing instructions said not to use Oxyclean (along with some other cleaners) because it could break down the covers. It also said that scented & Baby detergents can weaken the Velcro because they generally have softeners in them. I just purchased some new ProRap covers.

I Strip the diapers when they seem to loose their ability to work properly. I do this with a wash of a bit of dawn dish detergent & a rinse of vinegar. I will then wash the diapers again with a double rinse and spin to make sure they do not have any detergent in them .This method also works for towels that loose their absorbency. I had trouble with Tyde Free & Clear causing the diapers to lose their absorbancy, but haven't with All F&C. I have a stash of Prefolds, gDiapers, & Pockets.
