General Care and Washing Instructions Caring for
 our cloth diapers 
Is as simple as doing a couple extra loads of laundry a week. We recommend you start with a simple routine, then if you have problems, start trying variations. Your water, washing machine, and climate can make a difference in what works.
 
NOTE: These instructions apply to everything except wool. Here is the basic routine:
  • Put wet and soiled diapers directly into a dry diaper pail. (We do not recommend wet pails.) Some people choose to line their pail with a pail liner. If you are past the exclusively breastfed stage, shake off any solids into the toilet, or rinse with a minishower.
  • Wash every 2 or 3 days.
  • Do a Hot Wash cycle with an extra rinse. If you use a pail liner, throw it in also. Use half the amount of detergent recommended by the detergent manufacturer. (See Choosing a Detergent below.)
  • If you have a bag or liner in the load, take it out before the final rinse, as it can hold water and prevent everything from rinsing completely.
  • Put everything (diapers, covers, wet bags, liners, wipes, inserts*, doublers, pockets, all-in-ones) in the dryer for 60-80 minutes. You may wish to run a shorter dryer cycle, remove wet bags, covers, and pocket diapers (since they'll dry quickly) and then continue to dry everything else longer. Alternatively, hang everything outside for fresh air and sunshine!
    *NOTE: Microfiber inserts will stay absorbent longer if line dried or dried on low
Choosing a Detergent The only thing less convenient about using cloth diapers today as compared to 20 years ago, is that detergents all have so much *stuff* added to them that doesn't react well with diapers. Our favorite detergent is Rockin Green and Claudias Choice soap.
 
Ingredients to avoid:
  • optical brighteners
  • fabric softener
  • bleach, including color safe
  • enzymes
  • fragrance

  Front Load and HE Washers:
  • Load diapers into the washer, then run a "rinse and spin" cycle on the delicate setting, or with "no spin" at all if you have that option. Cold water is fine. This will saturate the diapers. When you start with diapers already soaking wet, the water the washer adds when you run the main wash cycle, will be enough to actually wash the diapers!
  • Then I add detergent and run a normal hot cycle with an extra rinse (and extra fast spin to minimize drying time).
Many front loaders have a Sanitary cycle with extra hot water. We don't recommend using this every time you wash your diapers, as it will shorten their useful life, but using it once a month or so will keep your diapers smelling fresh.

Choosing the right detergent (see above) is extra important with HE machines to avoid smelly and repelling diapers

Do's and Don'ts of diapers 

DO use the highest water level available in your machine to help rinse diapers completely.

DO unfold/unstuff diapers before placing in the washer to allow complete cleaning.

DO smell your diapers after washing. If they smell stinky out of the washer, you need to use more detergent, or a stronger detergent. If they smell like detergent, do another hot rinse to get all the detergent out.

DON'T use bleach or fabric softener on any diapering products. Beware that "baby" detergents and "free & clear" or "natural" detergents can contain oils that leave a coating and affect absorbency.

DON'T use natural soaps, as the natural oils can leave a residue on microfleece causing it to repel liquid.

DON'T use Desitin or other diaper creams containing zinc oxide, as that is very difficult to wash out of diapers. You can use our olive oil-base Healing Salve safely with cloth diapers, or if you need to use stronger medicated creams, use a flushable liner.
