NB stash prep questions

I read the FAQs, but still have a few questions about prepping my nb stash.

Natural Fibers:

Can I prep my unbleached prefolds (mix of Bummis and Diaper Rite) with unbleached Kissa's fleece fitteds (they say 90% cotton and 10% poly, recommend at least 3 washes to prep)?

Can my hemp inserts also go in this batch?

I was planning to wash hot, cold rinse with 2T tide powder and then high dryer with Nellie's dryer balls five times.

Do fleece liners need prepped this many time or just washed once?

Other Fibers: 

I assumed I could wash my BG AIO, Kissa's AIO, and all of the covers all together since they all have synthetic outer. Is this right? And they only need washed once? I plan to line dry.

Thanks!

  • Yes

    Yes

    I don't think you need detergent every time. I don't always let them dry each time (shame on me, ha ha). Or you could boil the prefolds and hemp inserts for 20 minutes, once, and call it a day

    Fleece liners just need a wash and dry

    If the others have a synthetic inner they can all just get washed and dried once (line drying is fine)

  • To add to Dr. L, I would dry the synthetic diapers the first time to seal the PUL from the sewing. After that you can line dry.

  • Awesome! Thanks for the tips! Never thought to use the dryer to seal but will do that.
