Diaper burns?

Hi everyone so I've started noticing when I use the cloths that my girl is getting rashes more and the last couple days it's so bad it's like her skin is burnt. Have any of you run into this? I change every few hours or if I hear her poop or if it feels harder to squish. If been cleaning them with arm an hammer with oxi liquid detergent at twohot heavy duty loads with an extra rinse. Am i not washing enough or with the right stuff. I wanted to use arm an handset cause it's mineral based instead of synthetic based just to try an be a little bit natural but I'll do anything to help her little bottom stay healthy the burn has got to hurt.

What type of diapers are you using (material - cotton, microfiber, hemp)? Have you checked to see if you have hard water? How are you drying? No fabric softener or dryer sheets, right? If you suspect yeast, you'll need to bleach soak *everything* and either stop cloth for a couple of weeks or bleach them every time.

@Audrey I'm honestly not sure material what they are they're mostly Charlie banana and bum genius in on city water it isn't really hard but did leave some spots should I be adding borax or vinegar to soften it in the wash? How would I know if it's yeast?

I'm not as familiar with CB, but I think BG are all cotton. Microfiber (aka "charcoal bamboo") tends to be problematic. There are some tests you can do to see if you have hard water, but I ended up just buying a digital tester from Amazon. I wouldn't add borax without checking first, and personally I'm not a fan of putting vinegar in the machine. I know a lot of people do, but I think it can cause issues and void warranties. Dryer sheets and fabric softener can cause buildup that leaves a residue and keep them from getting clean. I don't remember the specific signs of yeast, I'd have to Google it. I remember battling it with my youngest, but he's 4 now. We were about to potty-train so ended up just using disposables those last few months.
