#onthisday the first load of diaper laundry in this machine. Often, the part of cloth diapering that scares new parents and caregivers the most is washing soiled cloth diapers. If you google "how to wash cloth diapers" or "what do you do with the poop in cloth diapers" you may find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information available. Take a deep breath — it doesn't have to be complicated. Below, we've broken down the steps to help make washing and reusing modern cloth diapers more digestible and easier to understand. Storing Soiled Diapers Soiled cloth diapers can be stored in water resistant wet bags between wash days. At Kinder, we offer large, zipper top style wet bags that are great at keeping in odors and moisture until wash day. Choosing a Cloth Diaper Friendly Laundry Detergent Most readily available laundry detergents are cloth diaper safe. Things to avoid when choosing a laundry detergent for washing your baby's cloth diapers are strong fragrances, fabric softeners and homemade laundry soaps. (Tide is most popular!) Do I need to wash my cloth diapers twice? At Kinder, we recommend washing soiled cloth diapers twice. The first wash, a pre-wash, removes all excess soil to allow the main wash to thoroughly wash the dirty cloth diapers. Some families use detergent in both cycles while other families find that they only need detergent in the main wash cycle. #washingclothdiapers #clothdiapers #clothiscool #reusables #reusablediapers #makeclothmainstream #laundry #washingmachine #washingdiapers #reusablediapers #clothnappies
