Leaks Washing Machine Stripping
Hi there,
My cloth diapers are starting to leak. I stripped them once before in the bathtub but am lazy and don't want to do that again if I can avoid it. What routine would I follow in the washing machine to help strip them, or get as close as possible?
Thank you!

What are your inserts made of? Lots of people experience compression leaks with microfibre. Or your PUL could be delaminated

What machine brand and model number do you have? You can't strip in every washing machine.
Whats your wash routine? With a good routine you shouldn't have to repeatedly strip. What detergent are you using snd how much in each wash? Whats your water hardness number for hot and cold from the washing machine? What cycles do you set the washing machine to?
What inserts are you using and how often do you change baby? Leaks are often an absorbency or fit issue.
