Do you actually wash the inserts separate from the diapers?

I will take the liners out of the diapers but wash them all in the same load of wash. That way I know both parts are getting clean.

No you cannot remove them but they are very easy to clean because they are microfiber, so a diaper wipe easily cleans any dirt quickly.

I only ran the wash cycle twice and then put them in the dryer. I use a sensitive Tide, there are several to choose from. I didn't use cloth diapers for my first two, but my second two had allergies to disposable diapers and certain soaps. If your little one has a soap allergy I recommend goat's milk soaps and detergents. I love these diaper inserts. They are gentle on baby's skin and very absorbent.

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]

Yes, they are an all in one system. The inserts are sew in to the diaper. If you need you could add an extra insert for a heavy wetter, but I have never had to do that. These are great diapers!

Wash them with baby-safe detergent as you would any new clothing item that will be touching baby's skin. Never use fabric softeners - it will cause them to be less absorbent. A helpful tip my mom gave me: when washing them after use, include up to three tablespoons of vinegar. I guess a tablespoon per 10 diapers would be adequate. It will neutralize the ammonium in the urine (uric acid) and keep them from building up a stink.

I wash mine after each use for sanitary reasons. They have held up VERY well in both the washer and dryer. I also recommend using Nellie's laundry soda and no fabric softeners. The inserts can go either on top of the diaper or in the pocket or both.

No, You just reach in grab one and drop it in the washer. It does the rest for you. Make sure to keep them high enough out of kids reach. Hope this helps :)

For my cloth diapers, I wash them in a load of homemade powder detergent (1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda, 1 bar of ivory soap - powdered together in a food processor). Then, I wash them again with a scoop of charlies soap & 1/4 cup white vinegar in the liquid fabric softener area. it works great, and I've experimented with A LOT of different detergents & combinations!

You'll need to prep them first. Wash in hot at least 3 times, drying between each time. That gets most of the natural oils out (that you need to keep away from your microfiber). The prepping can be done with other non-diaper laundry if you want. After that, you can wash them with the rest of your diapers and inserts just fine.

The covers only need to be washed a single time before use. The inserts need to be washed between 3-6 times before use to maximize absorbency. The first wash with soap, usually any brand of free and clear detergent will work fine unless you have hard water.

No you are not supposed to. I have used it on the inserts for the pockets and it didn't effect the diapers.

I washed them using dreft detergent so it didn't irritate the babies bottom.

This is the whole diaper. No inserts needed. They wash very well. Worth the money.

You can wash these and all cloth diapers in any mainstream detergent that does not have fabric softener in it. Tide is our favorite! Use the recommended amount ( or even a bit more) for the load. For a large load of diapers (about 15 Diapers and double inserts for me), I use to line 3 or a full scoop if there are a lot of "dirty" ones. :) All of those "cloth diaper safe" detergents are basically made out of laundry boosters like oxyclean and if you use them will end up with major ammonia issues down the road! :)

No, they are re-usable. They are like the NICU one's that you throw away after one use. But considering the cost, I used them about 5 times max before desposal, I'd just wash them with soapy warm water. They worked fine. Glad our little one graduated from them though. They cost a pretty penny.

There are many different wash routines which can work for these diapers, and the wash routine will depend on the type of washing and drying machines you have as well as what kind of water you have (hard, normal, soft). Generally, you pull the inserts out of the diaper before washing (they will simply bunch up in the pocket), these diapers are best with a REAL detergent such as Tide, Arm and Hammer, Free and Clear (cloth diaper detergents generally do not get the job done as they have a lot of softeners and not much detergent). A prewash with a small amount of your chosen detergent is best to start, you will get most of the dirty washed away after this wash (think about it, first wash will be potty water) and you can do a full cycle next (next wash will be clean water as you have washed the potty water away). Personally, I did an extra rinse afterwards just to be sure all of the detergent washed away as it would go on baby's bum. I dried these diapers on medium heat but they also had no issues on medium heat or air dried. I would highly suggest looking up a group called Fluff Love and CD Science on facebook; these women are experts in all of the factors in washing cloth diapers such as High Efficiency machines vs old style machines, hard water, and the best detergents for baby's needs. With a little research to find your best method, these are easy to use and easy to clean. I was very pleased as the washing aspect is the most intimidating! Good luck, I say go for it!
