How do you wash these diapers?

They have been holding up great in the washing machine. I've used it on delicates, regular, and sanitize. For pooey diapers, I pull out the poo, spray the diaper with stain remover, and toss is in washing mashine. The whole process is surprisingly easy.

There are many different wash routines which can work for these diapers, and the wash routine will depend on the type of washing and drying machines you have as well as what kind of water you have (hard, normal, soft). Generally, you pull the inserts out of the diaper before washing (they will simply bunch up in the pocket), these diapers are best with a REAL detergent such as Tide, Arm and Hammer, Free and Clear (cloth diaper detergents generally do not get the job done as they have a lot of softeners and not much detergent). A prewash with a small amount of your chosen detergent is best to start, you will get most of the dirty washed away after this wash (think about it, first wash will be potty water) and you can do a full cycle next (next wash will be clean water as you have washed the potty water away). Personally, I did an extra rinse afterwards just to be sure all of the detergent washed away as it would go on baby's bum. I dried these diapers on medium heat but they also had no issues on medium heat or air dried. I would highly suggest looking up a group called Fluff Love and CD Science on facebook; these women are experts in all of the factors in washing cloth diapers such as High Efficiency machines vs old style machines, hard water, and the best detergents for baby's needs. With a little research to find your best method, these are easy to use and easy to clean. I was very pleased as the washing aspect is the most intimidating! Good luck, I say go for it!

I wash it on the regular cycle on hot. But when it comes to rinse I add white vinegar. It takes the smell out and makes it more absorbent. If there's a lot of poopy diapers I'll do a second rinse with more vinegar.

I use a homemade powder detergent in my HE washer on the regular cycle (hot wash/cold rinse) with an extra rinse. No fabric softener and if you choose to dry in the dryer, no dryer sheet should be used as they will decrease absorbancy. Personally I line dry.

I wash in hot with cold rinse and dry low. Had them four years so far. Love them. In the summertime you can line dry and they will naturally bleach back to white inside.

Put in the washing machine on a hot wash/warm or cold rinse. Then spread it out on the counter to dry. Don't put it in the dryer. I use 4 or 5 of them every week and I wash them this way. Don't go overboard with your detergent and they will be perfect! It is best to NOT wash them with anything else!

wash like you would a cloth diaper. use a diaper sprayer/bidet to hose it off or just dunk it in the toilet to rinse it off and put it in the regular wash. just make sure to wash your hands really well :)

I rinse all my cloth diapers in cold water then I wash in hot. Sometimes you can do another rinse in cold after the wash. I use these diapers for overnight use. My daughter goes 11-12 hours and I might have had 1 or 2 leaks in 6.5 months. I really love these diapers. My only con is the price.

I wash mine in hot soapy water and then sterilize them. We're now starting to use the bigger ones too. Absolutely love them all!

I've washed them in the washer using the delicate cycle, and just let them air dry. After all the cleanings and uses they're still like new!

Haven't needed to yet but I would just wash them in the sink and lay them out on a sheet to dry. If you are wanting to sanitize them you could wash in the sink then rinse in a bleach-water solution before drying.

I would do like they did when people used cloth diapers for babies. Bucket with water and detergent to soak until able to wash them.

I washed mine with my prefold diapers in hot water with All Fee and clear and bleach at least 1 time per week. 6 months later they were going very strong. However I actually ended up purchasing Fleece from the local fabric store and liked it better. Same washing instructions for the fleece from the fabric store

You can wash these and all cloth diapers in any mainstream detergent that does not have fabric softener in it. Tide is our favorite! Use the recommended amount ( or even a bit more) for the load. For a large load of diapers (about 15 Diapers and double inserts for me), I use to line 3 or a full scoop if there are a lot of "dirty" ones. :) All of those "cloth diaper safe" detergents are basically made out of laundry boosters like oxyclean and if you use them will end up with major ammonia issues down the road! :)

Same way as clothes that get poop on them? Toss them or I would try to get as much off as possible, then hand wash in the tub (then sanitize the tub... Yuck!), then washing machine. I would always double up with a disposable and this when my boys didn't have a BM before we went to the pool for that reason. Just in case.

These are very easy to care for. I cloth diaper, so I just put these in the diaper load and wash. My wash consists of warm rinse, hot wash with oxy clean & Purex (No fabric softeners or bleach), cold rinse, extra rinse on hot. I have put these in the wash with a regular load of clothes, as well. (Cold wash with Tide/fabric softener, no extra rinse) and they have come out fine, with no repelling issues. Hope this helps!!
