Prepping Organic cotton and microfiber?

BrileyLouBrileyLou member

I got 2 kinds of inserts (the organic cotton and microfiber staydry) to try out in my best bottom shells. I was just going to boil them since I only have 5. Can I boil them together? How long do I boil them? Do I use soap? TIA!

    I believe natural fibers (such as cotton, hemp etc) need to be prepped alone first before you wash with other materials because the natural oils can affect the absorbency of the microfiber.

    I think you can boil the natural ones to get the oils out and then throw them all together in a wash cycle with some towels. The only concern is that BB inserts have snaps, and I'm not sure if those can be boiled? Sorry I'm no help.
