Cloth Diapering: Wash routine


I have cloth diapered 2 babies, and let me tell you, it can really save some green. It's really quite fun, too!

I know, that probably sounds insane, but it is true.  These ain't your mamas cloth diapers :)

No pins are needed, and they come in the most adorable colors and prints!

What about washing?  Well, it's just like washing any other clothes, only the routine is a little bit more specific.  I keep mine in a regular, dry diaper pail.  Then, when it is time to wash (usually every other day or so), then I will empty the diapers into my washer and run a rinse cycle with nothing in it.  Then, I will add 2 Tbs of detergent and run it on a full, hot wash cycle set to the largest load size.  Then on additional rinse, and they are ready to dry.

Very simple.

How do you wash your cloth diapers?
