How do I wash my cloth diapers?

Standard Top Loading Machine
  1. Set washer to highest water setting for a big load of diapers.
  2. Run a Cold Rinse Cycle.
  3. Wash Warm or Hot (as recommended by manufacturer) with about 1/4 cup of detergent.
  4. Rinse well to ensure all detergent is removed from diapers.
  5. You can dry your diapers & inserts in the dryer on Medium or High heat (as recommended by manufacturer) -or- you can air dry them outside.  Sunlight acts as a 'bleaching' agent and will keep your diapers & inserts looking fresh & white -- naturally!

HE or Front Loading Machine
  1. Run a Rinse/Drain cycle with no spin.
  2. Run Warm or Hot wash cycle (as recommended by manufacturer) with 1 scoop of Charlie's Soap (recommended for its low-sudsing wash).
  3. Rinse well to ensure all detergent is removed from diapers.  (We run an extra rinse!)
  4. Spin on High to reduce drying time!
  5. You can dry your diapers & inserts in the dryer on Medium or High heat (as recommended by manufacturer) -or- you can air dry them outside.  Sunlight acts as a 'bleaching' agent and will keep your diapers & inserts looking fresh & white -- naturally!
