How do I prep these two items?

1) 24 cloth-eeze prefolds

2) Stay Dry Hemp doubler - This is the same as our Hemp Doubler, above, (three layers of 55% hemp, 45% organically grown cotton) but topped with a layer of virgin Malden Mills 200 weight polar fleece.  

 

Thank you!

    On the prefolds, this is what I did- https://aliciaonabreath.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/cloth-diapering-part-4-prepping-and-washing/

    Sorry I can't make it clicky! And no, I don't make any money off my blog. =)

    Machine wash hot, with cold rinses, 5 times, tumble drying in between. If you want to you can use a little bit of detergent too.

    If you had less I'd say boil them for half an hour, but I don't know how you'd find a pot big enough for 24 prefolds. :)

    We got insanely lucky and scored an almost complete GMD prefold stash, used, for $100. Almost everything was fully prepped and lightly used except for one dozen prefolds, which were still sealed. I decided to boil them to prep them and it took me forever! I did 3 at a time in the first round, 20-30 minutes each batch, with some blue Dawn dish soap. It took forever because I used the same water twice before emptying it and boiling fresh water. I decided to do one more round of boiling with 2 prefolds each time, with non-soapy water. It really did take a looong time, but it was much better than paying for my building's laundry over and over.

    I agree with PP about washing on hot, rinsing, dry--repeat 5 times.  I was just going to add that when I did my prepping I added towels and sheets to my loads so I didn't feel like I was wasting so much.
