Quoting Moses.:" And if any of your inserts are bamboo they need to be washed separately 3-5 times, dried in between washes  "

They are bamboo blend.. So wash, dry on normal/high, then wash/dry and keep doing it 5 times?

Quoting Moses.:" Sun F&C is actually better than ALL because it uses a plant base instead of petroleum  "

I have sun liquid right now, is that okay?

Yes, before you use them, and separate. I do just quick washes.

Quoting I'm His Amy He's My Rory:" So 3?"

What I would do to prep them, I'd wash on hot with 1/4 the recommended detergent (if you are using All), then do 2-3 warm/hot rinses. And same thing for the wash cycle when they are dirty, only do a cold rinse before adding soap to rinse the pee out.

I have used it before, 2 months with no issues. Its the only F&C I'll use with mine.

We live in apartments so our washers are all preset for 37 minutes. What temperature should we wash them on?

My neighbors are going to hate me

My neighbors totally hate me   I hang all my diapers out on a line in the backyard and they can all totally see them. Thankfully I don't have to share the washing machine.

So did I get this right?


Prep on hot:
Inserts 5 wash/dries seperately with 1/4 the normal soap each time hot dry

covers: 2-3 washes hot then hot dry for 15 mintues then take out

Regular washing:
1 cold rinse
2-3 hot washes/rinses 1(?) with soap

Dry inserts on hot, hang dry or dry on low for covers

We have 6 washers and driers open 24/7 so I can do them late if I need to.

Sounds good to me! For your inserts, You can boil them if it's easier/cheaper for you.
