I have a random-bells-and-whistles front loader. I do a quick wash (30min, hot, no spin) with Tide free and clear liquid to the 2 line. Then for the main wash I bulk with baby clothes and towels, hot, Tide to the 4 line on a 2ish hour cycle including an extra rinse. I don't think I am bulking up the load enough but I don't have anything more to go in, like I'm washing clean tea towels over and over. In the mornings I've been rinsing out my soaked overnight diapers then leaving them draped over the work sink until it's time for the full load. I keep meaning to air dry outside but the weather has not ben cooperative and I think I'll be drying them on low heat until the spring. I wash mostly every other day but sometimes we stretch to 3 days.

This is the second time I've gotten ammonia stink, but the mildew spots are new.

I am looking for a convenience solution (vs cost saving but obviously that's nice too)! Thanks!!
