Does this leave any kind of film on the fabric to protect it? I'm seeking an effective alternative to bleach for disinfecting cloth diapers. Thanks!

It bonds with the fabric fibers to protect and disinfect, but there is not any kind of residue.

No, not at all..it's one of the only things I've found that gets the stinky sweat smell out of my husbands gym clothes. Good stuff.

Yes! I leave mine on and it has never been an issue. I don't feel that it leaves a residue if you rub it in well enough. It has never harmed my clothes either.

Microfiber with just water is a proven disinfectant system. You don't need to use any cleaner additive if residue is a concern.

I just wash them with my cloth diapers. I use Rockin' Green detergent. I will say that I used them as a barrier to protect the diapers from diaper cream and over time the liners became water repellant. I stripped them but it didn't help. Now when we need to use heavy duty, (not cloth diaper safe) cream I use flushable liners. I still use the reusable ones otherwise though.

It's vinyl fabric, so you should be good with bleach-based products. I have only used bleach once, and I didn't see any issues.

It doesn't work as bleach really. The "bluing" effect neutralizes the yellow of white fabric that has been washed and bleached with chlorine over time.

Hello, i have used clorox in the washing machine too. I don't know what the reason is for not bleaching.I have very old microfiber cloths that have been washed with bleach.They are very stiff and non absorbant now.. but have served their purpose. I try not to bleach thse new ones. so far so good. I love these micrfiber cloths.

Bleach is incompatible with microfiber. It breaks down the breaks down the polyester and polyamide. Just google "microfiber and bleach" to see details.So - Is it safe? Well, only if it does not hurt your feelings to ruin your braava cleaning cloths. It's best not to use bleach with any microfiber.

I spray Clorox bleach spray to completely cover all that is stained and let it sit for a while, then it comes off for me.. Hope that helps!

How odd!!! Since it is supposed to be an easy quick rinsing out of the clothes with no residue left in them, I'm a little surprised it is leaving a film on your machine. I would contact the owner at Molly's Suds, I'm sure they will help you trouble shoot. Are you using too much detergent with soft water perhaps?

I used a bleach solution on mine until I realized it was too harsh for baby's skin (rash). I now use the Method brand sanitizing cleanser. The material is very durable.

Rubbing alcohol is a better choice, in my opinion, it's color safe. (I would test an area first.) If that doesn't work, then I would try the bleach pen if the fabric is white.

No, disinfects the water, not material items.I have run a mix of a little bleach and soap through our bath tub that has jets...run for several minutes, will make lots of bubbles...then rinse out with water only a few times seems to clean it out pretty good.

I put defense in the fabric softener/bleach compartment of my washer and it seems to work fine. I do use a large more industrial type washer which is used by all the tenants in my building.

In my experience, it does not leave a white film following its application. It disappears shortly after applying, not leaving a 'ghostly' look behind.

I have never used bleach on it -the fabric seems very fragile -it's definitely something to put in on the gentle cycle

It does not contain bleach of any kind. It is meant to be used in conjunction with bleach to prevent the yellowing that bleach does to white cotton clothing over time.
