What can NOT go together in the laundry

stephkay

My stash now includes:

BG 4.0s
Flip
Sugar Plum Baby - one bamboo cotton, one cotton sherpa (w/fleece liner)
Prefolds
Thirsties covers
Bummis Whisper Wrap
Bamboo Inserts
Fleece wrap
Hemp inserts

The only items I'm not sure about mixing together are the hemp inserts.  However, please let me know if I'm wrong and shouldn't mix something else.  BGs and Flips are what I have now - so I want to make sure before throwing everything else in.

Thanks ladies!  I love this board

Are they prepped?  Once they're prepped, they can all be washed together.  If you haven't done any prepping yet, you'll need to prep the prefolds and the hemp and bamboo inserts separate from everything else before using them.

Great, thanks!

I am new at this and have been lurking to learn a bit (my trial will be arriving soon!)... Can you explain what prepping is?

Thanks!

Prepping is the initial washes.  Natural fiber diapers (hemp, bamboo, cotton, etc) have to be washed 5-7 times before their first use to wash off their natural oils and make them absorbent.
