Instructions ~ Regular Diaper Cleaning Routine 

Pre-wash – To get the poo & pee out

Left - Ick water from first wash. Right - Clearer water from second wash.
  • Shortest cycle on washer with highest level of water
  • 1 teaspoon laundry powder
  • Cold water
  • Hard Water Tip: If your water is really, really hard add 1/4 cup borax

Wash – To get them clean 😊

  • 2 teaspoons laundry powder
  • Cold water

Drying Tip: Line-dry diapers whenever possible. The sun is such a great natural bleach & fresh air is so much easier on the elastics in the diaper shells than a hot dryer 😊

Two Load Tip: The ick-factor of the prewash water will be greater when the diapers are washed less frequently. That said, there will always be a noticeable difference, so we do recommend doing two washes.
