How you wash your cloth diapers will depend on what type of washing machine you have, if you have hard or soft water, and if you’re using plant-based or synthetic detergent. You may have to do a little experimenting first to find out what works for you, but here are three basic steps of all wash routines:
Dry the diapers on a line or in a machine.
Run the main wash with detergent on the heavy setting.
Run a pre-rinse or short cycle so that your main wash isn’t full of soiled water.
