How to wash PUL, fleece, and soaker pads

Wash every 1-3 days. Prep soaker pads by washing 1-3 times before use. This shrinks and fluffs the fibers to optimize absorbency.

Step 1

Flush solid poop down the toilet. Poop from exclusively milk-fed babies (no solid foods) can remain on the diaper.

Step 2

Use free and clear detergent. Add as much detergent as suggested on the bottle. NOTE: Too little detergent causes ammonia buildup, resulting in rashes and unpleasant odor on the diapers.

Step 3

Machine wash HOT and tumble dry. Add a cold rinse before and/or after washing.

Step 4

Do NOT use fabric softener or dryer sheets. Diluted bleach may be used occasionally if necessary, but will void your warranty due to the potential for staining/damage.

Wool Washing Instructions

Wool diaper covers MUST be lanolized at least once before first use. Follow directions starting at Step Three and repeat until wool is water-repellant. Thereafter, lanolize once every 4 weeks. Lanolizing is optional for belts and Chappy-Nappies. Some parents just soak the "wet zone" (crotch) of the Chappies into the lanolin bath.

Step 1

If the wool is soiled or dirty, flush solid poop down the toilet. Rinse the diaper and clean by hand with wool wash. Hang to dry.

Step 2

Wool that has just been peed in may be hung to dry between wears for up to 4 weeks. Then, proceed to step three.

Step 3

Melt lanolin and water in the microwave, using about a teaspoon of lanolin and 2 cups of water.

Step 4

Add a capful of wool wash, then pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir until foamy.

Step 5

Add ice cubes until the water is tepid (lukewarm). Add an extra cup or two of tepid water as necessary.

Step 6

Add the wool to the bowl and squeeze gently. Let sit for 2-3 hours. If lanolizing brand-new wool, let soak overnight. Afterwards, do not wring the wool. Roll between towels and lay flat to dry.
