The LaundryTarts Strip It! ~ Review

Over time, you may notice your diapers develop some residual buildup.   Signs of buildup include, repelling, which leads loss of absorbency and the always dreaded "stinkies".  Whether buildup occurs from a diaper cream or laundry detergent, every now and then it's a good idea to give your diapers a strip to get back to your regular laundry routine.  Strip It! is designed to treat your cloth diapers, as well as any other garments that may need a treatment to remove odours, residues or heavy soiling.

Ingredients
- Sodium chloride
- Sodium pre-carbonate
- Sodium bi-carbonate

In the cloth diaper world, man made, synthetic fibers, such as microfiber, suedecloth and fleece tend to be prone to buildup more often than all natural fibers such as cotton, bamboo or hemp.  Our cloth diaper stash is made of all natural fibers, in my earlier review of The Laundry Tarts Detergent I wrote about not encountering any buildup with this amazing detergent.  When I set forth to strip our diapers with Strip It!, it was for routine maintenance purposes and to test out the product.

I ran our diaper through a hot wash with no detergent prior to getting down to stripping.  A little bit of this amazing product goes a long way.  I then placed about a teaspoon of Strip It! in cold water in our top loading washing machine and filled it to the maximum water setting.  I let our diapers sit for about an hour with the timer on, anxiously awaiting to see how it was working.

After approximately an hour long soak, I put the machine on gentle agitate and then began the most dreaded part of stripping; the rinsing.  With other stripping formulas, it is not uncommon to have to have to do four, five or more rinses.  I was able to to successfully rinse in two full rinses in cold water after the initial first rinse.  That's alot of water gone un-wasted!

Strip It! yielded amazing results.  Everything came out nice and fresh, free from any small bit amount of buildup we may have had.  With other popular stripping products, you have to buy per treatment, the way The Laundry Tarts have set up Strip It!, one bag should last a long time yielding 20/40 treatments. Depending on your stash, one package of Strip It! could last one (or more) child's time in cloth diapers.

Thanks again Tarts, another amazing product!!
