Newbie question about washing/prepping BG Aio

I just bought a couple of new BG AIOs and pockets and the package says to wash 6 times before using. So, here's my dumb question... Do I wash 6 full times (as in wash 6 times and then dry 6 times) or can I just wash 6 times and then dry once when the 6 washes are done?

    Are they Elementals or freetimes? The Elementals are organic cotton so they need to be dried in between prep washes. I usually only do 3 prep cycles and then realize the absorbency might not be 100% which I'm okay with since I have a little one.

    I didn't think you needed to prep them multiple times since they are synthetic (microsuade and microfiber). I'd wash them once and dry them once.

    ETA: I'd wash them with existing diaper laundry as well.
