Caring for your Little Owl Cloth Diapers
Before Wearing:
We recommend washing all soakers & boosters 1 time (1 wash/dry cycle) prior to first use, using a cloth diaper safe detergent.
Storing Dirty Diapers:
- Unsnap the soaker from the shell
- Remove any solids into the toilet
- If your baby is breastfed, exclusively, there is no need to remove solids before placing in pail or wet bag
- Place the soaker into a pail or wet bag, never soak the diapers
- Shells can be stored & washed with soakers or with regular laundry
- Wash every 2-3 days
Washing Instructions:
- Rinse (pre-wash) with cold water, no detergent
- Wash on hot/cold
- It can be helpful to add a towel or two to the load
- Run through an extra rinse cycle on warm
- Tumble dry on low / medium or line-dry
- Line-drying is recommended whenever possible. Exposing your diapers to sunlight will help sanitize, reduce odor and is a natural brightener
~ Please do not use any bleach, whiteners, fabric softeners or brighteners
~ Please do not use any rash cream on your baby when he/she is wearing the diaper
Most detergents will leave a residue on your diapers that will affect absorbency (causing leaking) and cause odors. Choose a cloth diaper friendly detergent.
Select a detergent that does not contain any of the following:
- Dyes
- Perfumes /Fragrances
- Fabric softeners
- Brighteners
- Stain guard ingredients
- Natural oils
- Bleach
The following can void your warranty:
- Chlorine bleach
- Oxygen bleach
- Pure soap
- Borax
- Sanitize / High heat cycles
- High heat in the dryer
