Cloth Diapers for Babies

Question by yahoo ID 89523:
can’t get rid of ammonia with my babies cloth diapers!?
I thought it was the fact that he was sitting in pee over night that gave it time to turn to ammonia. ( he’s day potty trained and we just started cloth at night 3 weeks ago ) Well I just put a diaper on him and he peed…A few minutes later I catch a strong whiff of ammonia.
It ALREADY smells really strong!
I’m gonna have to put a disposable on him again until we get this figured out.
I really want to figure out what I am doing wrong cause I am due in 5 weeks and wanted to cloth diaper this baby.
I’ve tried 3 different soaps ( purex,all, and arm and hammer) I am only using like a tbsp and running it through 3 cycles! ( no soap – soap – no soap)
I have a front load washer.
I also tried a small squirt of blue dawn and just water.
I even tried 1/8 cup bleach.
( I tried all of these things seperatly not together)

nothing is working and it’s ticking me off!
Someone please tell me how to fix this ammonia problem!
I ran them through 3 extra hot cycles plain water cycles ( back to back ) last week…there was no suds.
Still ammonia!
