Prepping Q (I know! Annoying)

Epiphany27

Alright so I have the following that needs to be prepped, and I can't understand what to wash together, what to wash just once, and what to wash a few times.(I've read the FAQ, but I must be dumb because I can't figure out which is natural and which isn't)

Thirsties Duo Covers

Thirsties Duo Diapers

Thirsties Stay Dry inserts (maybe i need to wash the hemp half separately??)

One lone GM fitted

One lone Babykicks pocket

Everything else I bought used so I'm just going to wash it all once together.

(PS I'm prepping now because I'm babysitting for a friend tomorrow and figured I'd practice some CDing on her while I'm at it)

TIA!

Wool, cotton, hemp, silk, linen, ramie and jute are all natural fibers and they need to be washed 5-7 times in order to reach maximum absorbency. You can also boil them for 20 minutes.

And then the covers and anything synthetic (sorry, I don't know the brands and what they're made of) just need one wash, and covers should be hung to dry as much as possible.

I boiled my natural fibres because I couldn't bear the thought of running my washer and dryer that much for clean things.

Thirsties covers, duo shells, microfiber inserts, gm and babykicks shells can all be washed together.  They only need to be washed/dried once before use.

Hemp half of all Thirsties inserts (duo diaper and stay dry) along with babykicks insert need to be washed separately 3-4 times.
