Pre-wash all new Cloth Diapers (Cloth diaper and inserts) before using it for the first time. This removes any residues that might be left in the fabric during production processes.
To get better absorption of the inserts, wash the inserts for 3 times before the first use.
Cloth diapers are washing-machine-friendly.
Using laundry bag in washing machine can lengthen the lifetime of Cloth Diapers.
Dry Cloth Diapers directly/indirectly under the sun, or by using machine cloth dryer.
Remember
Do not use bleach (eg. Clorox) or fabric softener (eg. Softlan). It can cause irritation to baby's skin and might also affect the fibers in the Cloth Diapers, and eventually shorten its lifetime.
Wash with cold/warm water. High temperature in hot water will damage the Cloth Diaper’s quality.
Do not iron or dry-clean as Cloth Diapers might loose its’ elasticity.
Do not brush the cloth diapers as it might damage the surface of the Cloth Diapers.
Do not use nappy cream as it reduced absorbency
This is all the instruction you really need:
- Store diapers in a dry pail
- Rinse on cold
- Wash with 1/2 usual detergent, any temperature
- No bleach or fabric softeners
- Optional extra rinse
- Dryer or clothes line
