Have you ever looked at your cloth
diaper manufacturer’s washing and warranty
instructions? It’s
worth a look, after all you never know you might need the warranty
and it would be a shame if you did something that ruined that. Here’s
what you should do according to FuzziBunz’s website:
Wash: FuzziBunz’s washing
instructions are pretty normal. Cold wash/soak cycle first, then a
hot wash with a cold rinse. Interestingly enough FuzziBunz does not
endorse using vinegar in your routine as they feel that the
detergents used today do an effective job of disinfecting. They also
state that frequent vinegar use could harm the elastic in the
diapers.
Dry: Dry on low heat or line dry. Do
not dry on high heat.
Detergents: FuzziBunz’s recommends
cloth diaper friendly detergents such as Rockin’ Green, Allen’s
Naturally, Charlie’s Soap and, of course, their own detergent.
FuzziBunz As far as store bought detergents they discourage the use
of any detergents that have additives and recommend Tide Free and Arm
and Hammer Free.
Warranty Don’ts: If you want to keep
the warranty on your FuzziBunz do not use chemicals, especially
bleach, in your washing routine. Also high heat is considered an
environmental cause that is not covered by warranty.
