Cloth Diapering

New here, question about prepping prefolds

I am due 11/1 with my first LO, and am so excited to start cloth diapering!
I have 36 Osocozy Indian prefolds (they are white, so I think bleached) and was wondering how many times I need to wash them to prep them? I tried to find the answer on the forum already, but was having trouble. Any help would be great, thank you!

Re: New here, question about prepping prefolds
Either wash once on hot in your machine with CD safe detergent then dry. Then wash and dry 3-5 more times with just hot water.
Or boil 3-5 at a time in a pot on the stove with a drop of blue dawn, rinse in your sink. Then rinse in your washing machine followed by drying 2-3 more times, being sure to get all the soap bubbles out.
If you don't want to run that many wash cycles in your machine for just prepping, you can just throw them in with laundry you'd already be doing on hot like towels or sheet. Be sure to use CD safe detergent and no fabric softener though!
