Cold Soak (approximately 20 minutes)
Wash on warm or hot with slightly less than 1/4 cup detergent
Run an additional rinse cycle to ensure all detergent is removed from diapers
Drying in the dryer is allowed with PUL fabric diapers. Dry on high heat then allow to cool before stretching the elastic

Detergents to use: (free of dyes & perfumes)

Tide, Cheer, Purex, Sunlight & Era

Do not use any fabric softeners or dryer sheets. This causes a waxy build up on the diaper fabric and can cause repelling of urine and decrease the absorbancy of the diaper. If you need to use diaper rash cream, place a small baby wash cloth in the diaper or use a rice paper liner to protect the fleece.

Do not use Bleach - they will break down the fabric and will decrease the life of the diaper. Oxiclean is OK - 1 to 2 scoops per load.

Stripping Diapers:

Stripping refers to the removal of residue on the diapers. To strip diapers simply hand wash your diaper with your regular dish soap (Dawn works fine), add a bit of dish soap to the fleece, either rub the fleece vigoriously together or use a hard bristle tooth brush to scrub the fleece. Turn the diaper inside out and repeat to this side. Rinse very good making sure the water runs clear.

If you do not want to hand wash your diapers you can add a dash of Dawn to a Heavy Wash cycle on Hot. Run at least one additional rinse cycle. If you see soap bubbles during the extra rinse cycle you will need to run the rinse cycle again.
