Poop in washer - HELP

Please send help

There is poop at the bottom of my machine and little bits all over the diapers. What did I do wrong?

I have 7MO twins. We did cloth diapering for a time while they were just on breastmilk/formula. I took a break since starting solids but my husband finally installed the SprayPal hose on the toilet. I washed two days worth of twin diapers. Only two had poop on them. I did two cycles on hot with powder detergent and then a rinse.

My daughter has been a little sick so one poopy diaper was very loose so there was no hard stool so I didn't rinse anything. Second diaper has some chucks, but I thought the bamboo liner caught most that would need to be rinsed.

I tried rinsing the rest of the diaper, but either the leftovers were too sticky, or the water pressure from my hose isn't strong enough. Do you need to rinse every bit of poop off? and how do I fix my toilet hose if that's the case?

Also, anyone else find that the dry bag catches soap and is very wet? Obviously I'm sure this is common seeing the nature of the material, just didn't know if I should be washing it with the diapers.
