Pre Washing

o_so_in_love

I found this article on pre washing new cloth diapers. It says to wash 5 to 10 times to increase absorbency. Am I supposed to do this entire method 5 to 10 times? www.happygreenbaby.com/clothdiaperwashinginstructions.html

Yes, synthetic fabrics only need to be washed once. Natural fabrics should be washed 3-5x before the first use. I usually boil for 30 minutes and then do 3 washes.

When washing you should use detergent and dry them fully in between washes. Doing this increases the absorbency of the fabrics.
