Do you have to wash the cover every time you change? Or is it only the prefolds that have to be washed every time?

Only the prefolds need to be washed every time, but sometimes the cover only lasts one use if your baby is a prolific pee-er, or if the poop gets past the pre-fold and onto the cover. Back before our daughter was eating solid foods she went through them much more quickly. Now that the food is solid, so is the poop and they last for a few prefolds before we change them.

It depends on the contents. If it's not a solid dirty diaper, I just switch out the prefold and reuse the cover. If it is a solid dirty diaper, it will sometimes leak off of the prefold, but it stays contained in the cover. Then I will wash the cover right away. My son is almost a year, and he rarely leaks through on to his clothes in these. On average, I'm able to reuse the cover up to 3 or 4 times before washing it. I absolutely love these diapers and would choose them over the overpriced ones any day. I hope this helps.

The cover does not have to be washed every time, but I would wipe it down after every use and leave to air dry, using another cover for the changed diaper. The covers are very durable and dry quickly. It is easy to just rinse and leave to dry, ready for the next use.

You have to wash the prefolds every time. You can get several diaper changes out of a cover, until you get a major poo. The rule of thumb is 3 or 4 prefolds for every cover. PS The econobum prefolds are my favorite so far. The cover is so-so.

I wash mine weekly, and it's come out just beautiful every time. This is a really great blanket!

Hi and thanks for your interest in Jobri Bed Wedges from The Unwind Company!The cover can be unzipped and removed. There will be a tag on this cover that will indicate wash instructions to ensure maximum lifespan of this cover. Thanks again for your question. Hope you have a relaxing day!-Your Friends at The Unwind Company

I'm sorry to say that I've never washed or drycleaned our cover. Unfortunately the cover was too heavy for my husband who was quite ill and we did not use it often. I personally love it and will use it when it gets colder

The mattress has a cover which has a zipper all over it, all around, so I assume you can machine wash it. The fabric looks strong enough to be machine-washed. I still have not had the need to do this. So in my opinion the cover can be machine-washed, the mattress I don't think it's a good idea to wash it. When is too old, you may replace it, or buy the cotton yourself and replace the cotton instead, and continue using the same cover. The cover is very well made, and it has the good feature of having the zipper.

Dry clean only, I've never stuck mine in a washer but I can imagine the mess it would be if I did it! The down would probably shift and and the cover might shrink. I always "refresh" mine by putting it in the dryer with a dryer sheet and set the temp to perm. press for about 20-30 minutes.

I wash mine after each use for sanitary reasons. They have held up VERY well in both the washer and dryer. I also recommend using Nellie's laundry soda and no fabric softeners. The inserts can go either on top of the diaper or in the pocket or both.

I just got mine and always wash new things before using. It washed fine in my regular washer, and dried in my regular drier too, no problems at all.

yes, the cover is removable and washes up nice. I wash mine each time I bath my dogs and simply hang to dry. It is very lightweight and will dry quick.

Yes! I have had mine for about 6 months and have washed it at least weekly. It still feels like new. Always wash in cold water, tumble dry low and never use fabric softener or dryer sheets.

I always wash mine at home but you've got to be careful with drying it. With my old one the vinyl backing melted in places and got holes.

Mine came lined with a synthetic blend blue cover which I was unsure how I would really be able to wash well if it got soiled. I use an organic cotton cover on top and lay a smaller changing pad liner (with no elastic) on top of that which has a waterproof back. You can get them in sets of 3 from Babies R Us. They were helpful with newborns so you didn't have to change the whole cover so frequently. Hope this helps:-)

I have no clue as I haven't tried to wash it yet. I was thinking about that yesterday. I would think only the covering is washable.

Yes! I've had mine over a year and i wash it at least once a month. It still looks brand new.

Yes, the one I received the cover is removable and does not shrink or become misshapen when I wash it.

There is no mention of washing it prior to first use. It does not have any smell to it at all out of the package. I did not wash it first. Washing or drying it with other articles of clothing leads to the other articles being wadded up inside of the protector and not washing or drying well.

Yes. But quality can make a big difference. The cheap ones shrink, get lumpy and don't stay even (like they get stretched out on the sides and fold odd). I prefer the Nappie prefolds because they shrank very little and kept their shape. They are thick. I really considered going with the cheaper/ generic prefolds but decided the Nappies would be cheaper in the end because I will not have to buy more later. I purchased 3 packs and am going to try to use them through as many cover upsizes as possible. Good luck! :)
