Wash & Care Tips

HOW TO WASH CLOTH DIAPERS:

1. Shake any excess soil into toilet. This is not necessary with babies who are breastfed, until they begin eating solid foods.

2. Place diaper in diaper pail until ready to wash. Soaking is not necessary.

3. Machine wash diapers in hot water with the detergent of your choice.

4. To deodorize and freshen the diapers, add 1/2 cup of white vinegarto the rinse cycle. This will balance the ph level of the daipers, and help remove detergent residues.

5. You can rinse twice to further remove residues, if necessary.

6. Dry on high heat or hang dry.

TIPS:

Using bleach will shorten the life of your diapers.

For maximum absorbency, wash and dry new diapers 2 - 3 times before first use. Most new diapers look thin and flat, but will quilt up after washing.

Natural fiber diaper covers usually need to be wash separately from diapers. There are some covers that can be washed together with your diapers. If you notice redness in your baby's diaper area, it is likely that she/he is having a reaction to detergent residues in your diapers. Try a mild soap instead, or try double rinsing the diapers.
