Learn About Laundry

eLeMeNO-Pee recommends a very basic wash routine for your cloth diapers. Our instructions are appropriate for most people, however water issues and the specific detergent being used will affect the usefulness of this recommendation. If you are having laundry issues with your cloth diapers, contact your local consultant or call us toll free at (855)-LMNOP-CD. We also have these convenient reminder magnets available from your consultant if you need a little reminder every once in a while.

Washing Instructions

1 - COLD RINSE with lots of water. NO DETERGENT

2 - HOT WASH, WARM/COLD RINSE with CD Safe Detergent (we recommend Charlie's Soap!)

3. COLD RINSE. No Detergent.

Tips

-For HE Washers, use WATER PLUS setting if available. If you do not have this feature, add a couple of wet towels to the load to trick the washer into thinking it is a larger load so it uses more water

-Too few or too many diapers keeps machines from cleaning well. We recommend washing 12-18 diapers at a time. You should experiment with your washer/water/detergent to find what is best for your setup.

-Exclusively breastfed (EBF) babies have water soluble poop. These diapers can go directly in the washing machine without being rinsed.
