OK to bleach?

haileyq

I Just got my used pocket diapers in the mail today... Is it okay to bleach the inserts, then do a second regular wash? Obviously you can't bleach the diaper itself. Thanks everyone for all the help! I don't feel like I'm going in so blindly now. Oh, and I've also heard mixed things- is Burt's diaper cream okay in cloth, or no? Isn't it funny how this is how we diapered for hundreds of years and now all of a sudden it's such a foreign process?

 

P.S. Haha! I accidentally posted this on my birth month board. I bet they're all scratching their heads!

It's perfectly fine to throw a 1/4 cup of bleach in the load with both the pockets and the inserts, it won't damage the colour or anything like that.

As for the Burt's Bee's I would add a liner.

Yep, as long as you stick to using 1/4 cup of bleach your colors will not be affected. I use bleach approximately every 46 weeks

My diapers came with some info and it recommended using a 1/4 cup of bleach once a month. I have had no issues with my covers losing color either.  I do, however, let plenty of water run first, before I throw my diapers in, just in case

I occasionally do bleach in our CD laundry as well, in the mix of all sorts of diaper items.

You can bleach the whole shebang if they are pockets.
