How to Wash Your Diapers

Flats, Pre-folds, Contours, Fitted Diapers, Inserts and Doublers:  Wash on hot or warm with a mild detergent; tumble or line dry.

Organic diapers and doublers:  Please wash before first use to remove natural oils and increase absorbency. Wash on hot or warm with a mild detergent; tumble or line dry.

PUL Covers:  Wash on hot before first use; wash on warm or cool thereafter and tumble dry low or line dry.

Fleece Covers:  Wash warm or cool, tumble dry low or line dry.

Wool Covers:  Handwash or machine wash gentle cycle in cool water with a mild detergent; hang dry. When your cover begins to lose some of its water resistance, you will need to re-lanolize it. You can do this by dissolving a small (pea-sized) amount of pure lanolin (such as Lansinoh cream) in tepid water and soaking your cover for about 15 minutes. Adding a drop of baby shampoo to the water may also help to dissolve the lanolin. After soaking, wrap your cover in a towel to squeeze out excess water and hang dry.

 Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
