cloth diapering tip: your wash routine for your cloth diapers is CRUCIAL. You need to test your water hardness to help determine the best detergent and possibly water softner.. also your washing machine has a big impact on it as well..Top loaders > front loaders, regular > he. It also helps if your diapers or new or if they're used that there properly stripped first.. not testing your water for a proper wash routine can end your cloth diapers in weakened absorbency, mildew and mold that stays trapped in the layers of inserts fr days in turn making your washer and dryer smell and diapers smelling like fish, broken fabric, stains, and essentially ruining your clothes stash.

for example: i have moderately hard water, I have a top load whirlpool, I do a prewash, and main wash.. I use tide original (not the HE detergent) with calgon for my water softner.. sometimes I'll mix tide with gains apple mango tango for my fluff to come it smelling like skittles.. to dry I either sun dry them or clip dry..

more tips tomorrow lol.. trying to answer my inbox questions one at a time ♡
