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 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.

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

I hand wash mine with mild soap and warm water, reshape them and air dry. So far, so good!

I just scrub them, then soak in bleach water. Then a soak in regular water.

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.

If it's pee, just change the insert (the absorbent cloth in the middle). If it's poop, change the whole diaper. Take the insert out, shake off as much of the poop as you can into the toilet (diaper sprayers are good for this) and toss it in your diaper pail or wet bag to be washed. There are a lot of helpful videos and tutorials on how to diaper, how to launder the diapers on the internet if you google it. Also, I would go with a different brand. I have bought two different sets of Alva and have had lots of issues with leaks. The prints are cute and they are cheaper than other brands, but you get what you pay for unfortunately.

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 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.

I keep an old fashion sugar dispenser (Glass with a metal lid. The kind that shakes out sugar) filled with baking soda by the diaper pail. I sprinkle that in between dirty diapers and it really cuts down on the odor.

Poo hasn't been difficult to remove at all and I don't use a liner. Neither does my daughter with hers. All I did to break them in was to run them through a sanitary cycle on my washer. If you don't have that cycle on yours then I believe the directions say to wash 5 times. I dry them on a low setting on my dryer too. My daughter's diapers are the kinds with the inserts, but I like these better There are two flaps that lay down in the diaper that are attached so you don't have to fool with removing and sticking the insert back in

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.

Not sure- I believe my daughter just cleans them with a clorox wipe and then rinses them off with water afterwards.

I haven't had then long enough to get dirty but I bet you could put them through a gentle cycle in the washing machine. Inside tag says wipe with damp cloth.

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.

Nope but I just wiped them down with baby wipes before my baby used them. He's all over the place now walking, trying to figure out where to store then till the next little one comes!

short prewash with vinegar and baking soda works excellent to remove urine smell, then wash as normal they come out super clean
