How to wash cloth diapers No matter what type of cloth diaper you use, they'll need washing so you can use them over and over again. (In fact, new cloth diapers should be washed at least once before using, to increase their absorbency.)
One option is paying a diaper service to do the dirty work, though diaper services are getting harder to find, depending on where you live. Even if you're near one, the company may not offer a wide variety of service packages. Still, some parents say the service is worth looking into valentino bags at least for the first few weeks that your baby's home, while you're adjusting to life with a newborn.
If you plan to wash the diapers yourself, start by checking the directions provided by the manufacturer on the label or packaging. Some require special handling. (For example, most wool covers need to be hand washed, lanolized, and air dried.) Special instructions aside, here's how to wash most cloth diapers.
Preparing dirty diapers for washingIf you choose, soak stained diapers for a couple of hours before washing them, to help with stain removal. (Some diaper covers and diapers with waterproof outer layers shouldn't be soaked at all read the manufacturer's washing instructions to find out.)
Generally speaking, you can just put the dirty diapers from your diaper pail or wet bag straight into the wash. Some parents keep dirty diapers in a wet pail, which means the pail is filled with water (and possibly a little baking soda to fight odors). This isn't recommended for two reasons the liquid poses a drowning risk to small children and soaking diapers for more than a few hours can actually cause stains to set. But if you do use a wet pail, pour the liquid into the toilet before starting your wash routine.
Products to use and avoidUse detergent (not soap) that is free of fragrances, enzymes, and other additives, such as whitening and brightening ingredients. Avoid fabric softeners and antistatic products, as they can irritate your baby's sensitive skin http://www.valentinohandbagssale.com/ and make cloth diapers less absorbent. You may need to use bleach when fighting an infection, such as a yeast diaper rash, but don't rely on it regularly. Bleach breaks down the fibers in cloth diapers, causing them to deteriorate. It can also ruin some diaper covers.
