Where's the best place to get tea tree oil? A chemist or similar?]]> Wed, 30 May 2007 11:20:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152634&title=musty-insert-smell#152634 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152619&title=musty-insert-smell#152619 Author: Guests

I haven't had a problem with the Canesten so far, and have been using it for nearly five months. Anything in too great a quantity would have the potential to cause build up I would think?]]> Wed, 30 May 2007 10:48:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152619&title=musty-insert-smell#152619 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152512&title=musty-insert-smell#152512 Author: Two Blondinis

careful with the Canesten as it can coat the fleece. Tea Tree oil is a natural antibac treatment so should work as good ]]> Wed, 30 May 2007 08:15:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152512&title=musty-insert-smell#152512 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152469&title=musty-insert-smell#152469 Author: Guests

Same here except I use Canesten, as well as treating the smell we use it mainly to make sure our nappies are not harbouring any extra bugs that might aggravate Erin's rash.]]> Tue, 29 May 2007 21:50:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152469&title=musty-insert-smell#152469 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152437&title=musty-insert-smell#152437 Author: Maya

I never remember to strip the nappies/inserts but always add a couple of drops of tea tree oil to the wash and we don't have smelly inserts/nappies]]> Tue, 29 May 2007 20:31:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152433&title=musty-insert-smell#152433 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152370&title=musty-insert-smell#152370 Author: nikkitheknitter

I find my inserts smell a whoooole lot less after stripping with vinegar and baking soda.

And yes to the tea tree oil, chuck a few drops in a rinse.]]> Tue, 29 May 2007 18:17:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152370&title=musty-insert-smell#152370 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152364&title=musty-insert-smell#152364 Author: busymum

My FB inserts are faintly musty-smelling and I'm not sure what to do. It's usually not a problem but when they are damp (not quite dry on the line) or in the dryer (propelled air) the musty "left-over" smell is definitely there. Is this what tea tree oil is good for, or is that just for in the bucket? BTW I wash in Persil, I tried a couple of eco samples (bounty pack) but found it worse than Persil.]]> Tue, 29 May 2007 18:09:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7873&PID=152364&title=musty-insert-smell#152364
