Before Using the Diapers
The diapers need to be pre-washed on hot at least
once before use. The diapers will shrink and get thicker with the first few
washes.
Washing the Diapers
Keep your wet and
dirty diapers in a diaper pail. Wash your diapers in warm or hot water
with the recommended amount of detergent as stated on the detergent’s
container. Too much or too little may cause your diapers to possibly
stink, leak, or leave baby with a rash.
An additional rinse can be used
for particularly soiled loads. Make sure that your diapers are rinsed clean.
Any residue from poop, urine, detergent or vinegar can make your diapers
smell. Tumble or line dry.
Do not use fabric softener. It will coat the diapers making them water repellent and
reduce the absorbency of the diaper. Be aware that if you use dryer sheets in
your dryer for other laundry this can coat your dryer and transfer to your
diapers.
Do not use bleach. This will cause the fabric's fibers to break down.
Do not use diaper rash creams without using a protective liner between your baby's skin
and the diaper. Creams will leave a waxy residue on the fabric making
them less absorbent, water repellent and may potentially cause leaks. If
you need to use a rash cream, you should use a stay-dry liner or a piece of
fleece between your baby's bottom and the diaper to prevent the cream from
transferring onto the diapers.
Stain removal. If staining occurs, it is important that any products used
on the diapers and covers to remove the stains are mild so as not to irritate
the baby’s skin and/or cause the diapers to prematurely deteriorate. In
most cases, laying the stained diapers out in the sun is the safest and most
effective way of removing stains.
Blueberry Simplex Cloth Diaper
Before using the diapers: wash and dry your diaper once in warm water (up to 140F)
with detergent prior to first use. This causes the fibers to shrink,
fluff up and become more absorbent.
If you bought several diapers, you may want to
pre-wash one first as we can only refund on unused/unwashed products.
General Wash & Care:
Wash your diapers in warm water on regular
cycle. Follow the recommended amount of detergent as stated on the soap's
packaging based on your load size. Too much will leave residue causing
your diapers to possibly stink, leak, or leave baby with a rash. Too
little will not leave your diapers clean and cause it to stink and/or leave
baby with a rash.
An additional rinse can be used for
particularly soiled loads. Make sure that your diapers are rinsed clean. Any
residue from poop, urine, or detergent can make your diapers smell.
Tumble dry on warm or line dry.
Do not use fabric softener. It will coat the diapers making them water repellent and
reduce the absorbency of the diaper. Be aware that if you use dryer sheets in
your dryer for other laundry this can coat your dryer and transfer to your
diapers.
Do not use bleach. This will cause the fabric's fibers to break down.
It will also cause the waterproof layer of the diaper to de-laminate. Do not
use baking soda or vinegar in your wash. These are unnecessary and may cause
problems in your diapers.
Do not stretch the diaper while it is still
warm. Allowing the diaper to cool after taking it out of the
dryer will extend the life of its elastic.
Do not use diaper rash creams without using a protective liner between your baby's skin
and the diaper. Creams will leave a waxy residue on the fabric making
them less absorbent, water repellent and may potentially cause leaks. If
you need to use a rash cream, you should use a stay-dry liner or a piece of
fleece between your baby's bottom and the diaper to prevent the cream from

Do not use bleach. This includes Oxyclean or other oxygen-based bleach.
These laundry additives will cause the fabric's fibers to break down. It
will also cause the waterproof layer of the diaper to de-laminate. Do not use
baking soda or vinegar in your wash. These are unnecessary and may cause
problems in your diapers.
Before using the diapers: wash and dry your inserts 2-3 times on hot prior to first
use. This causes the fibers to shrink, fluff up and become more
absorbent. The inserts will shrink and get thicker with the first few
washes. This shrinkage has been allowed for when designing the
inserts.
General Wash & Care: Keep your wet and dirty diapers in a diaper pail. If
you've stuffed the inserts inside the diaper, shake out the insert into your
pail and throw the diaper in after changing your
baby.

tend to wear slightly more than conventional or synthetic fibers, a little
extra care can extend the life of the diaper.
