Ok so you finally went all in and decided to purchase your cloth diapers. So how exactly do you prep them.

*Note this is my own personal way of prepping my inserts*

How To Prep Inserts and Pre-folds:

What you need - A big pot and some water

Step 1: Fill pot with water

Step 2: Bring water to a boil

Step 3: Place inserts/prefold into boiling water (I usually do 10 inserts or 6 pre-folds at a time)

Step 4: Let boil for 20 minutes

Step 5: After boiling let inserts cool off to room temperature (they will be super hot because they hold alot of water)

Step 6: Run on one rinse cycle in the washer with cold water

Step 7: Wash on a hot/cold cycle with the diapers as well using 2 tablespoons of my detergent recipe

Step 8: Do 3 more cold water rinses

Step 9: Line dry the diaper part and place inserts/pre-folds in dryer until completely dry

That is it! The more washes the inserts get the more absorbent they will be come. It usually takes 4-6 washes for mine to reach max absorbency.
