Diaper Care

Wash your diapers before using and after trying them on your baby for fit. diapers must be washed after each use. Use a laundry basket, or diaper pail to store dirty diapers and diapers until wash day. Some prefer to soak dirty diapers in a wet pail. **If you decide to do this your water should be changed daily**

When removing a dirty diapers from your baby shake, or knock any solid bowel movement from the diapers. You can rinse any remaining BM off the cover if you would like, but this is not necessary. Pull the prefold or insert from the diapers before storing. They can all be washed together.

It is not recommended that you let your dirty diapers and pre-folds / inserts sit too long before washing as odors may set in.

On wash day, run the dirty diapers and inserts in a cold soak or pre-wash. If you do not have a soak cycle, run them through a rinse cycle. If you have already soaked your diapers in a pail, spin out any remaining dirty water.

Wash your diapers in HOT water with a moderate amount of detergent (1/4 - 1/2 of the recommended amount). Using too much detergent produces build up and is the single most common cause of leaking problems. Use ONLY regular detergent. No pure soap products or mild detergents such as Dreft, Ivory Snow, or Free and Clear products. Do not use fabric softeners or whitening agents. We recommend using any store brand detergent to wash diapers. If your baby has sensitive skin and find that store bought detergents are too harsh, try using Allen’s Naturally. This is a gentle detergent, used in small amounts that is biodegradable and is also endorsed by Mother of Eden, makers of Fuzzi Bunz pocket diapers.

I advise to do an additional rinse to be sure no detergent remains and the diapers are rinsed clean. Any residue from poop, urine, detergent or vinegar can make your diapers stink!

Diapers should not stain. Some diaper rash ointments will stain and care should be taken when using such products if you want your diapers to stay nice and stain free.
