prepping question

wendylaine

I posted yestreday but didn't get a response so I thought I'd try again. I received my GMD prefols in the mail and got charlies soap. I have a HE frontloader. What is the best most economical way to prep them and still have it work? Is boiling a good option? ... Also do I have to prep fleece liners or just wash before use?

Definitely boil.

I'd boil the prefolds. For fleece liners you just have to wash them once to get the ickies off then you're good to go.

I boiled mine and just washed the fleece once.

how long do you boil? do you boil and dry then boil again? or is once enough

I'm curious about this, too!  We got the GMD unbleached prefolds.  Does boiling take the place of the 6 recommended washes?  As in, boil, then wash once or twice??  If I choose not to boil do I just wash 6 times normally (detergent, full cycle each time), or should I be rinsing more, etc.??
