Tips: Washing Tips

 1.  Never use fabric softener or laundry soaps w/ softeners or oils.  This causes fleece diapers to have build up which creates leaky diapers.

 2.  Sun diapers outside for several hours to get rid of stains and unpleasant odors.

 3.  Use a Downy ball with vinegar in the regular wash cycle to help with stains, build up, and odors.

 4.  If using a sprayer to remove poop from diaper, wet the diaper a little before putting into pail.  This will reduce staining and make it easier to come clean in the wash.

 5.  Use a washcloth or diaper liner when baby has a rash.  This will protect the fleece on the diapers and allow you to use any diaper creams or ointments whether or not they contain oils.

Tips:  Cost Saving - A few ways to save even more $$

5.  Buy fewer diapers and wash more often.
