I am planning on using these for baby #4 and the instructions say never to use bleach or vingear on them....has any one tried either on them with good/bad results??? I was afraid the bleach much breakdown the hemp liners.

I never used either on my Little Lambs- instead I put them in the sun when I wanted them fresher. I did this even in the winter- I would just wash them, then put them in a sunny window.

oh good idea...thanks for the tip

tried the cold water rinse first and then the hot water cycle...worked like a charm

i never used bleach on mine. i did use vinager, but i always did a double rinse at the end of thewash. the sun does wonders too, i second that.
