I used to use something by the name of Diaper Pure, also used Borax, too, but the Diaper Pure diaper washing agent smelled so clean and fresh. Sometimes after changing a really messy diaper, I'd set it into the toilet to soak for 30-40 minutes before rinsing, then into the diaper pail it would go. Rubber pants got soaked in my laundry room sink/tub, then hand-washed and pinned up on the line to dry with the diapers.
