How do I get Balmex out of my cloth diaper doublers?


Question by Object Permanence: How do I get Balmex out of my cloth diaper doublers?
I caked Balmex on my girl last night and this morning it didn't rinse off. I tried laundry detergent, vinegar, baking soda, and scrubbing with an old toothbrush.
I'm afraid that if I put it through the wash it will hinder the absorbency of all the diapers in the load! It's fleece on the side that was Balmexed, if that makes a difference.
Any ideas?

Boil the doubler in a large pot with a bit of dish soap.

    You need to strip the doubler. Take an old toothbrush and some dish soap and scrub the doubler with the dishsoap, then wash (alone) in really hot water, repeat if necessary until the balmex is gone. Most cloth diaper companies (if not all) say not to use any diaper creams or other products with their diapers because it affects the absorbancy.
