Prepping questions!

I feel really dumb but I think I'm overthinking prepping my diapers and I'm hoping you all can clarify? 1) for used diapers, do I fill the drum with water and put the bleach in before diapers? Then I rinse a bunch until no bleach smell. Hot or cold water? Do I put detergent in as well or just bleach? 2) do I separate my bright colors from non bright when prepping? 3) when prepping my natural dipes- I know I do 5-6 washes. Does that include rinsing and putting more detergent in for each wash? Do you dry in between each wash? Thanks for helping! I was googling but kept getting more and more confused.

    Thanks! Stupid iPad screwed up my formatting but I have a combo of new and used diapers. So for the used- I do a regular wash routine but with the added bleach? And natural diapers you go through the whole wash routine (wash, rinse, dry) 5-6 times?

    What about charcoal/bamboo diapers? Do I throw them in with my natural? Thank you!

    Yes.




    If you have time you can just throw the diapers in with sheets and towels loads and use your CD safe detergent rather than running 5-6 prep washes. Also if you do prep washes, you don't have to use detergent and run the second rinse every load. Do the first load to get out the oils from processing though.

    Charcoal bamboo can go in with natural fibers.
