Can I wash Joey Bunz w/ my pockets and MF inserts?

Title says it all!

If they are new, then no. They need to be washed several times to remove the hemp oil in the fibers and to reach maximum absorbancy.

Once they are used, I wash everything together. Every once in a while, I strip the inserts by themselves. I have not had any problems.

^^Yeah, that.

I was all my hemp in it's own load at first. (Usually I'll throw my wipes in with it, so it isn't a tiny load.) But, after a while, once the hemp is "broken in" and all of the natural oils are gone, I just wash everything together.

Technically I think you are always supposed to wash hemp alone (I've heard that somewhere before, but I could be wrong!), but once it's broken in, I think you're okay to wash it with micro.

Just my process. Keep in mind I only use pockets. I always wash hemp separate from my pockets. The fleece will stay much nicer and have less issues if you wash them separately. I also wash hemp alone for at least 3 wash dry cycles..

Good luck. I love joey bunz once they are prepped! It took us 5 washes!

I wash mine all together with no problems.

Once they are broke in they can be washed together. The only thing I wouldn't wash with pockets is terry like BKT or towel-like terry (not micro, its fine). Terry will leave fuzzies all over your fleece and make it pilly.

Yes, I did that early on..... what a mess. I have a lot of inserts with BKT on one side so that is the main reason I separate them.
