Prepping GMD prefolds and Gdiaper cloth inserts
OK - so I just want to make sure I'm doing this right...I bought GMD prefolds (cloth-eez) and Gdiaper cloth inserts
Can I wash them together or should it be done seperately?
Also - is it just as simple as putting it in the washer (speed wash cycle) in hot water (and rinse in hot?) 6 times? Do I add the same amount of detergent? (I use the oxiclean, borax and washing soda mix).

Re: Prepping GMD prefolds and Gdiaper cloth inserts
The paperwork I got with my GMDs said to wash them separate from other diapers during prep, and then you can wash them all together after the 3-5 prep washes.
When I did ours, I added one large pot of boiling water to my hot wash and washed the dipes with my detergent ( I use All Free and Clear military). I did a double hot rinse to be sure there was no residue, then took them out and dried them completely in the dryer. After the 3rd time, I tested them for absorbancy since they were looking pretty fluffy--and they soaked the water right up, so I did not wash them again.
GMD sent me a 10 page document about how to launder the dipes--yo may want to e-mail and request one if you did not get one.
