Question: What Does It Mean to Strip a Cloth Diaper?
Answer: Stripping cloth diapers is a laundering method that removes detergent residue from cloth diapers. Detergents, fabric softeners and other things in wash water can build up in cloth diapers over time, and the buildup can reduce cloth diaper absorbency.
The basic process for stripping cloth diapers is to hand wash the diaper with some dish soap, then scrub the diaper either by hand or with a brush, and then rinse thoroughly.
