I used cloth diapers for my baby boy. I was given one month of free diaper service, and I didn't want to add to the landfills. I had "soak hampers" filled with water, Dreft laundry detergent, and 20 Mule Team Borax to prevent stains, and then used the Dreft and the 20 Mule Team Borax again for the wash.
That soak water got pretty stinky, and you can't imagine how disgusting it is dipping diapers in the toilet after the baby does a poo.
Fortunately, the soak hampers had a screw off deodorant cake receptacle at the top, otherwise...they would have stunk up the entire house.
Another drawback of cloth diapers, is that you have to use plastic pants over them, and they ALWAYS leaked right at the edge of the legs.
