How do you clean these diapers after a poop?

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.

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 held it over the toilet and shook or dipped it in the toilet water and agitated. Then I washed it in the machine.

Just use real newborn diapers or make a cloth diaper, way cheaper. I have a leftover pack of NB diapers that I saved for my daughter to use on her dolls. I turn the monkey off without taking the diaper off, I just push it down a bit.

I went to Menards and purchased 18 inches of their astro turf indoor outdoor carpet, and then cut them to the size of the pet Zoom or potty parks that I have and use regularly. I put them into a pillow case and throw them in the washer, but I don't dry them, I let them air dry. They stay more intact, and the washer cleans them thoroughly. For every day I just pick up the poop with paper towels, and dump the pee in the toilet from the tray. I spray the mat with 1/2 strength vinegar then with plain water to remove the residue. but the Washer really cleans them well, and doesn't destroy them.

The unbleached kind need to either get boiled for a bit, like 15-20 minutes or you can wash them in hot water a few cycles, though this uses a lot more water and is not as efficient as boiling. You wash then, same as any other cotton diaper: cold rinse, hot wash with plain soap, then two rinses. I typically do the last rinse on cold just to save energy. Flats dry on the line in no time and the sun bleaches stains and kills germs.

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.

I prepped in hot water. I washed them 3 times. They were super absorbent. Im now 4 months in. My son is heavy "front" wetter so I use 2 inserts in his pocket diapers now.

For my cloth diapers, I wash them in a load of homemade powder detergent (1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda, 1 bar of ivory soap - powdered together in a food processor). Then, I wash them again with a scoop of charlies soap & 1/4 cup white vinegar in the liquid fabric softener area. it works great, and I've experimented with A LOT of different detergents & combinations!

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.

Just wash them in warm water. You can use a little soft-soap if you like, but don't use any harsh solvents or cleaners.

Just wash and dry like anything. We wash in hot or warm with our cloth diapers and dry also with the cloth diapers on hot in the dryer. So, yeah, don't bother to treat them special. These things have been SUCH a lifesaver to prevent leaking. We've had them more than 2 years and they are good as when we first bought them. First used them with Bum Genius and now with FuzziBunz which we prefer (got both handed down which may be why we had leak problems in the first place). We place them on top of the stuffed diaper, not in the pocket, as they help with absorption.

A little warm water and shake em around. They clean off good as new with no effort!

You'll need to prep them first. Wash in hot at least 3 times, drying between each time. That gets most of the natural oils out (that you need to keep away from your microfiber). The prepping can be done with other non-diaper laundry if you want. After that, you can wash them with the rest of your diapers and inserts just fine.

The interior is a plastic-like fabric. They do wipe clean pretty well with a baby wipe when there is just pee in them. With poop, I would change to a clean one. I've re-used these up to 4 times before needing a new one.

Just wash them. I believe you hang dry them. So far have kept them pretty clean.

I don't think you'd want to leave your diapers sitting more than 3 days, so there's no point in getting more than that amount. I would recommend around 26-30, so you're washing every other day when baby is newborn, and every third day when older. When baby is breast/formula fed, you don't have to rinse off the poop in the toilet or soak them or anything. Just do a rinse in the machine and then a hot wash. When they start solids, you need to dump that poop in the toilet.

I wash mine every 2-3 days. I do a full hot wash with cloth diaper safe detergent (I use either Original Tide powder or Ecos Free & Clear liquid), then a cold wash with nothing. Sometimes I'll do an extra warm rinse.To diaper one child and launder every other day, you would need about 20-24 diapers. Some people launder every day, in which case you would need about 12. I have collected enough diapers that I could go a week or so with no laundry, but you really don't want to go that long. Don't let them sit more than about 3 days or they can grow mold and get pretty nasty.

Using a cloth diaper detergent like Rockin' Green, wash in hot water then either hang dry or use in dryer. Repeat about 4 times. Do not put these directly next to baby's skin as it will cause diaper rash when it gets soaked.
