We just got a new washer and because it's a front loader and we have a water softener, I was afraid to use too much detergent. I've had to re-wash the diapers a couple of times before I figured out how much detergent to add to get the diapers smelling clean. Now I just hope I'm not using too much detergent hahaha.

I wasn't using enough detergent when I started cloth diapering. My general rule of thumb now is this: If a diaper smells coming out of the dryer (or in off the line, but the dryer intensifies the smell) you need more detergent. If the diaper smells like ammonia when baby pees in it, diapers need to be stripped. If the diaper that's been at the bottom of the pail smells like ammonia . . . just ignore it, lol, or wash more often. Great tips! I wasn’t using enough detergent when I started cloth diapering.
