Washing
We suggest using a dry pail for storing soiled diapers.
1. On wash day empty the diapers into the washer (easier with a pail liner) and run them through a rinse.
2. Run them through a hot wash with a good detergent such as Allens naturally or Country save. Please make sure you are using the correct amount of detergent for your washer. A front loading washer needs much less detergent.
3. Rinse.
4. Toss in the dryer and dry or line dry.
Drying them on the line in
the sun will naturally bleach out any stains!
NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRICS SOFTENER!
Bleach will prematurely wear out your diapers and fabric softener will
coat the fabric and reduce the absorbency.
That's it!
Often people try to remove build up by adding more products thinking they will cut through the buildup, but in the end the more products you add the more products you'll need to rinse out.
Wash unbleached cotton (prefold diapers, sherpa, flannel) 4-5 times on hot and hemp products 2-3 times on hot before washing with fleece or microfiber the oils will coat the fibers and lead to diapers that don't function properly.
