But if u have already decided on cloth diapering then this is the continued post from my posts abt cloth diapering, so here it goes......................

Taking good care of cloth diapers is really important as their absorbing capacity reduce with time, if not taken care properly

You don't want to spend ur hard earned money buying costly diapers again and again by ruining it, it shud be a one time investment that Can be used until the baby is potty trained.

Wash Instructions for cloth diapers are usually written on the cloth diapers packet or on some tag in diaper.keep these instruction with u,read it well and wash accordingly,every brand charted out different points.

Hey don't worry

washing cloth diapers is not a rocket science

Here the washing instruction for bumchum cloth diaper is 

BUMCHUM diapers can be machine washed and tumble dried.they can be line dried in shade only. Disinfectants can be used for inserts.

see the point line dry in shade not directly under harsh sun light.

but some diapers can be put under sun to.

How I clean diapers

It's good to use mild detergent while washing.I hand wash or machine wash diaper cover with mild liquid detergent or special detergent for nappy wash. 

U may use detergents esp made for nappy wash .here are Some Really Cool Detergents . After washing i do not spin it more oiften ( it increases the life of the diaper cover ).Just let the water come out on its own in laundry room(ie, drip dry) then line dry it in shade or under fan.these get dried easily. Diaper covers are costly .so I take good care of them.

Inserts are little cheaper and can be bought again ,so I mostly put them for machine wash and tumble dry them too .they take some time in drying.

In rainy season or winter ,they almost take a whole day but in summers not a problem

how to clean diaper spoiled by poop

Washing diaper spoiled by poop is not peasy and quite a messy and icky part of cloth diapering.If diaper is spoiled by poop. Knock the solid in toilet and then wash a bit with water and put it in water mixed with dettol. Finally put it in machine for washing. Quite a long process. But it's good to disinfect baby's nappies esp when they are new born.

but I don't do this any more instead I use nappy liners,if spoiled by poop liner can be disposed.so diaper is easy to clean without any mess.click here to read about them

is prewash necessary

its upto you.if I am putting cloth diapers in machine with other baby clothes,i prefer doing a prewash just to get rid of that ammonia smell of unrineand then put other clothe for washing in it

.prewash  can be done in machine (mine is automatic front open one,so its bit difficult in it then semiautomatic one)

somedays i just wash with water in a bucket and put disinfectant for few minutes and finally put in machine.

if you are washing your babys diaper only then I don't think it is that important but yes disinfecting diapers is important esp with newborns .

drying under sun?

drying under sun has benefits as sunlight work as a bleacher.and diapers get bleached of stain under sunlight.but putting them directly under sun makes them hard and badly effects it's softness

sometimes in the morning when sunlight is not that harsh i put diaper cover and liners under sun and then transfer to shade for further drying (i don't know how correct i am in doing this)

take care that inner side of diapercover shud not be out in harsh sunlight.its softness get effected

protecting softness and absorbency of diaper cover and liners.

its not possible to keep them as soft as they were on the day one when bpught,but by taking good care at least we can absorbency  can be protected.

Is it lot of work?

you must be thinking  i must be spending a lot of time and effort on laundry by prewashing , disinfecting , putting in shade or sun.but i don't think so anymore may be quite used to it like any mother. 

So are u ready for exclusive cloth diapering . HAPPY CLOTH DIAPERING:)Enter the magic world of baby products
