With the dishwasher thing, be careful what you put in there! Cotton or microfibre should be fine but I wouldn't try it with bamboo (it cooks easily) and PUL would be a big no if it gets that hot.

Hmm I think minky would be fine as it's polyester, which I *think* is quite tough (microfibre and fleece are both poly) but I wouldn't put money on it. TBH I would just stick with the washing machine and use the temperature controls - most machines have a boil wash if you really want it hot, but check labels.

Do you want to run us through exactly how you're stripping them? Tell us what detergent, how much, what wash cycle, any extra options, temperature, length of the cycle etc?

I don't think I would risk the covers in a vinegar strip but it's up to you! What bit smells - the inserts and the outers, or are the inserts worse?

Yes you can use full detergent dose on bamboo, on anything actually.

I'd try doing the inserts and the outers separately - do the outers again with the detergent strip. If they come clean, great, then you can do the inserts with any of the other methods as MF will be fine with whatever you want. Also, how many are you doing at once? I'd do no more than 10 and use the longest possible wash cycle. Sorry if you've already answered this but have you cleaned the machine too?

What wash cycle are you using? And what temperature? How long does it take?
