Hello CDing mamas!

We just recently made the switch to cloth and my collection is made up on AIO's BG OS's and Thirsties...  So far they've held up well with a cold rinse/hot wash cycle, air drying the shells and low drying the inserts...

Have any of you had any trouble with the PUL on the shells?  One of the articles I read about PUL recommended leaving the shell out of the cold rinse cycle, but since they're AIO's I need the rinse to get the yuck out of the diaper before the hot wash...

Hopefully that made sense to someone-- rec your washing methods please!!

TIA!!

I use BG AIO, BG OS, FB OS, and RAR and I run a cold rinse, hot wash with detergent, followed by a cold rinse.  I also dry everything on regular heat 1.5 cycles.

Everything still looks brand new except the aplix on my BG 3.0s.

With our BGs (pockets and AIOs), I've always done the cold rinse. I do a cold rinse, hot wash w/ detergent, and cold double rinse. No PUL issues what so ever. I line dry the pockets and put the AIOs in the dryer on low because they take way too long to line dry in the winter.

ETA: I've never heard that about taking the shells out of the cold rinse, and I would only consider leaving just covers out, not even pocket shells because the rinse is to get the icks out.

I put everything through the same cycle--cold prewash with no detergent, hot wash with two cold rinses.  I air dry the BG OS covers, and dry everything else on low (or sun dry when it's nice out).  The only problem I have is the aplix on my (previously owned) AIOs is rolling.

Ditto this exactly except I don't have RAR's. I used to dry outside but haven't b/c of the cold/rain the past 2 months.

Thanks for the feedback ladies! I was getting a little paranoid

For the aplix problem, BG will send a little fix-it kit for free-- how awesome is that?!
