Diaper Swappers

mommy22peanuts · 09-23-2012, 12:14 AM

It's been seven years since I've cloth diapered...I decided to prep our new unbleached prefolds today and wash our old kissaluvs. I threw everything including some hemp doublers, into the wash with detergent and washed on hot.
THEN I decided to double check the process of prepping unbleached prefolds online.

Come to find out that I shouldn't have put anything else in the wash with the prefolds...did I ruin the kissaluvs?

What can I do to fix this?

Thank you in advance!

Don't worry about it. They will be fine! The only thing that could possibly happen is some of the oils from the prefolds could get on the other diapers, but I really don't think that is much of a concern. You can wash them again if worried, but I wouldn't bother. The oils in the new prefolds are removed with regular washing, so nothing special is needed for your other diapers!

Great! Thank you for the reply...I'm so excited to CD again, the diapers were the first thing I bought for this little one!

I prep new diapers (organic cotton and hemp) with my old diapers(cotton and hemp) all the time and have never had an issue.

Congrats on your new little one!
