|  How
do I treat diapers with bowel movements?
The best recommendation is to use your diapers with rice
paper flushable-biodegradable liners. All you have
to do is remove the soiled liner and flush. This eliminates or reduces
the dreaded dunking of diapers in the toilet to remove waste.
You can also use a Diaper
Sprayer to remove most of the solids from your diaper
right into your toilet, without dunking.
Do diapers require presoaking?
It is a personal choice to pre-soak your diapers. If you do wash
often enough you shouldn't have a problem with stains. However,
if you go long between washings pre-soaking will reduce the amount
of staining. To do so fill diaper pail with water and if especially
soiled add a small amount of baking soda to the pail.
Under which wash cycle should the diapers be laundered?
Once the pail is full empty the pail with the diapers into the washing
machine and proceed on the Normal wash cycle. NEVER use bleach or
fabric softener of any form!! These products actually break down
the cotton fibers and reduce the diapers absorbency. ALWAYS wash
diapers seperately from other clothing.

How should I dry the diapers?
We recommend line drying or using an indoor wooden drying rack.
This by far lengthens the life of the diapers. If you do need to
use the dryer close the hoop & loop closures (velcro) and dry
on regular cycle. To further shorten drying time, a dry towel can
be thrown in to draw moisture.
