Washing Instructions: These diapers must be washed in hot water 5-7 times and dried once before using because the natural oils in the cotton have not been removed through processing. You will want to use approximately 1-2 tablespoons of detergent for each of these initial washes. They can then be used and washed with about ¼ - ½ of the recommended amount of your favorite detergent. We recommend using a detergent that is free of bleach and fabric softeners. This helps prevent detergent build-up in your diapers. It's a good idea to vary your drying methods. The sun is a natural whitener, while the dryer keeps diapers nice and soft.

Tips on Folding: Prefold diapers can simply be tri-folded and laid directly into a wrap style cover. This method requires no diaper fasteners. Or check out some other recommended folding methods here.
