How to Wash Kushies Cloth Diapers

Cloth diapers are a natural way to diaper your baby, saving the ongoing expense of disposable diapers. Proper care and cleaning is important to protecting your baby's delicate skin from rash and irritation. Wash your Kushies cloth diapers regularly to prevent stains and extend the life of the diapers, protecting your investment.

Things You'll Need

• Diaper pail
• Baking soda or vinegar
• Gentle detergent

Instructions

1. Fill your diaper pail halfway with cold water. Mix in 1/4 cup of baking soda or vinegar.

2. Rinse the diaper flap of soiled diapers under cold water. Add the diapers to the pail and soak them overnight.

3. Add the presoaked diapers to the washing machine. Run the spin cycle to clear out excess water. Run the diapers through a warm water wash cycle with your preferred detergent, using only half the usual amount for the load size.

4. Rinse the diapers completely. Run the washing machine through an extra rinse if needed.

5. Put the diapers into the dryer and run the dryer cycle on low heat. Alternatively, hang the diapers outside to air-dry.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid bleach, pure soap or fabric softener on the diapers. These can damage the fabric.
