Has anyone used this to add to your washing routine of cloth diapers? If so, what is your routine?

if you have hard water at all, this will help greatly with the cleaning of your cloth diapers! Use as directed (1/2 cup per load) with a good laundry detergent and NO EXTRA RINSES after the wash cycle. (yes, you should still prerinse/prewash. i don't use calgon in my prewash.)

If your water is very "hard" add 1/2 cup to a load of diapers washed in warm or hot - this allows your detergent to work smarter with the same amount you usually use.

I'm sorry we can't help you with this question. We ordered this to clean the holding tanks in our RV. For that we have been really pleased.

I don't have diapers in my household but I use it on everything to keep our water soft. Our city water is very hard but I don't want to install a softener because my outside faucets would have soft water and it wouldn't be good for my garden. I have found this is a wonderful substitute for a softener.

I just bought one for cloth dipers and it can wash about 6 diapers at a time.. we use flats and pockets. it does a great job for us. I would recomend wringing them out between rinses. I do a 5 min pre-rinse, 15 min wash and 2-3 6 min rinse cycles. workslike a charm.

I love, love, my small set of mama cloth! No way would I go back to disgusting disposables again. Granted, this month is my first cycle with only mama cloth, but so far, its working great. No moodiness, cramps, or irritability like I had with disposables. Which goes to show being picky about what you wash your clothes in goes double for what you use for "that time of the month". Matter of fact, I need more mama cloth but short of cash at the moment. LOL! There is a little bit of shifting, but not much at all. Snug underwear and wearing brief undies cuts a lot of it down.

it can be used on any kind! I have 3 different types of cloth diapers and I use it with all of them. I don't flush them though just in case my septic system doesn't do well with them, but they are great!

I tried that at first but found it was unnecessary. I just fold the cloth to fit the cover and snap the cover over it. I paired with the thirsties snap cover and have been diapering this way for 18mo.

Hi, I do wash the diapers after each use, but if youre baby only pee and the cover isnt wet you can use it again. I love Alva diapers!! and I use them with charcoal bamboo inserts and they are just perfect!!!

If you're using cloth diapers now and you feel the need to spray them out, this is good. If your baby makes a "clean" poop that just falls out and leaves little on the diaper, you won't really need this. In our house, we used it on maybe every other poopy diaper. It just helps the diapers come cleaner and the pale doesn't get as funky. We washed our diapers daily but I've heard some people did every other day and I think if you have diapers in a pail 2 days, you'll want to spray them. Regardless, if you decide to buy blueberries, you're gonna need it. :)

its great to bath newborns, you use the fabric mesh that is shown on the picture and you can bath him securely... I used with my newborn and I felt more confident since I´m a new mom.

I have been using it for years with my front load washer. Use 1/2 a scoopful. Also used it with my cloth diapers on the same machine - works great!

It's a great detergent for clothes, but it seems lacking on diapers. We've been struggling with bacteria buildup and ammonia with our 1 month old for a few weeks now. Be sure to follow Charlie's diaper instructions; you MUST add a disinfectant to the wash! We will probably be switching to Tide Free and Gentle if the ammonia issues continue.

I see no reason why you could not wash cloth diapers in here. You can only do a few at a time and you would have to ring them out and hang dry. Large towels would be to big. But a pair of jeans maybe.

Yes! That's what we use ours for. And side note --I just discovered disposable swim diapers are washable (pee only)!! You just throw them in the washer and let them air dry-they are good for 3 washes. :)

Not sure about cloth diaper, but I rinse them and then keep them soaking in cold water until I run a wash cycle in the machine or hand wash. You can soak in a mild soap and baking soda solution or even spray them with shout or oxi sprays. I keep it simple and wash then hang dry and try to keep flat and unsnapped to extend the life of the snaps. I love these and highly recoment them. They can be warm on hot days but reliability and function are more important to me. I also have bladder leakage issue and wear these daily >365!

I have always just washed them the same as I wash my cloth diapers and then hang them to dry on a drying rack. They dry very quickly and I've had no issues. Mine are about a year old and aside from some pilling, they're still going strong!

I reckon if you pre treat/pre soak the diapers and put then in a load by themselves, it will work very well. Ive used it for my whites (which I've pre treated) and they came out better than in the regular large washer. Hope this helps answer your question. I definitely suggest getting a spin dryer when you get this model. The spin dryer removes so much water so hang time to dry is really low. YouTube has videos, so you can see these items in action.

I do. But, I also put delicate in net washing bag first and set the timer for 3 to 5 mins. Am very VERY happy with the Panda washer. I got the panda just for that reason I wash alot of delicates and white tops and I dont care to use my large washer for one or two things.I also found after useing the panda my washer is not cleaning very well. time for a new one I guess. Happy in wssh. May Green.
