Bibs - how do you wash them? Any tips?

lolc

Three kids later and I still hate washing bibs.

I either put them in with clothes and risk the clothes getting messed up because the bib "attaches" to them (even when I attach the velcro together before I throw them in)....

Or...

 I wash them separately from clothes and waste a ton of water because even putting the washer on "small" load still has way too much water for a max of 15 bibs (and that's only if I let them collect first).

I'd really prefer not to handwash because 1) I don't have any sort of scrubbing board and 2) I don't really have time for that.

Soo I was wondering if anybody has any tips or secrets out there. How do you wash bibs? And if you throw them in with baby's regular wash, is there anything you do to ensure that the bib doesn't attach itself to other clothing?

TYIA!

Put them in a pillowcase (and tie the top) with the rest of the load.  Then they only catch on other bibs and don't mess up the rest of the clothes.

Lingerie bag with the rest of the wash.

I tried a lingerie bag and all it did was cling to the lingerie bag and ruin it, lol.

I haven't tried a pillowcase though - thanks for that tip!!

I wash bibs, sheets, blankets, towels, washcloths and sleepwear together.  Everything else gets tossed in together.  That way, I don't care if the bib catches on anything.
