Using Cloth Diapers & Trainers

  • Wash and dry diapers and trainers on hot prior to first use

  • It is normal to have some leaking with pocket diapers and trainers for the first couple of uses.  Wash and dry on hot until the leaks cease

  • Pull apart snapping diapers gently by holding the fabric close to the snap Yanking may damage the diaper

  • Zorb ll can take up to 7 wash and dry cycles to reach full absorbency

  • All pocket/AI2 diapers can be used as a swim diaper with the insert removed 


Care Instructions 

Here is a synopsis for washing cloth diapers: 

  • Make sure all inserts have been removed from the pocket diapers & solids have been knocked off into the toilet

  • If applicable, make sure all hook and loop tabs have been securely fastened to the corresponding laundry tabs to avoid a diaper chain

  • Run the diapers through a cold rinse (HE: cold/cold wash) cycle and then spin to remove excess water 

  • Use your normal amount of laundry detergent and wash diapers on a hot wash.   We have had great success with original Tide.

  • Optional-An extra rinse (either a cold rinse or hot wash w/o detergent added) can help get any extra residue or stink issues cleared up 

  • Optional-Add up to 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar to the final rinse if your water is especially hard to help thoroughly rinse out any detergent 

  • Dry on high heat for ~60-80 minutes or line dry in the sun.  Both help kill any bacteria that may be growing in the diapers.  A bonus for sun drying is an electricity reduction or ~50% and the sun helps bleach out any stains. 

General tips:

  • Do NOT use fabric softeners or dryer sheets as this will cause repelling and leaking

  • Do diaper laundry every 2-3 days 

  • Don't do more than half of a machine full 

  • Use the highest level water setting you have, despite the diapers only taking up 1/2 a load 

  • If your child develops a nasty red rash, then you probably have not thoroughly rinsed out your detergent.  Look at the water during your final rinse and ensure that there are no soap bubbles.  If there are, do another rinse until there are no more bubbles.  Next wash, cut back on the amount of detergent you used 

  • If your diapers are stinky, they are not clean.  They should have no residual odor.  Residual odor means there is likely a bacteria buildup and that can lead to diaper rash and other skin irritations.  


Here are a few websites that have a lot of good information on cloth diapering: 

The Diaper Jungle 

Green Mountain Diapers 

Diaper Pin 

Keep in mind that finding the right washing routine requires some playing around at first.  You will, with out a doubt, know if the diaper has a bacteria funk smell.  Also, if the diaper immediately smells like ammonia when first wet, the diaper is not getting washed thoroughly (there is still residual urine in it).  Diapers that have been sitting or used overnight can smell like ammonia though - just not when first wet and not a knock-you-over upon entering the room smell.
