Our Cloth Diaper Wash Routine

We have been cloth diapering since October 2007 and since then Ive tried various wash routines and detergents and FINALLY i've found a routine that i
stick to and i'm happy with. If anyone has any video requests just let me know :)
p.s. everyones was routine is going to be a little different as everyone has different water and a different machine and different diapers and different detergent :) but as always if you have questions just ask :)

Have you tried tea tree oil or a diaper specific detergent like lil outlaws or rockin green? I do a single wash with cold with lil outlaws and tto and haven't had to strip in over a year! No soaking, prewashing, or extra rinsing. Your routine seems so long and complicated!

Great video! Just curious if you have to rinse out the poo before you put the diapers in the wash. I'm considering switching to cloth diapers soon.

@twompers01 anything that doesnt knock off easily i just tosh in the washer and i've never had any trouble with the washing machine or the diapers

We sold our front loader because it worked horrible with the cloth dipes lol so we love this top loader even if it is old school lol

@beemay111 Because it uses so little water when washing. It is hard to get the diapers properly cleaned

[beemay111]

@TheEplumb yep if she soaked them in the buckets, so much less water!

@08jaydensmommy08 why is the front loader a pain? just wondering.

[beemay111]

@rsol08 lol she has made it look more complicated than it is . newborn baby poop sort of soaks into the nappy and as they get bigger its no great effort to flip it off the nappy ,or you can use a liner (looks like a paper towel only cloth) that wraps it up. then soaked in solution in the bucket, then into the machine. no biggie
