So, you’ve chosen reusable diapers - yay! Now, let’s talk about how to keep them clean, fresh and lasting as long as possible. Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think. Here’s our simple guide on how to wash reusable diapers.

Store in a pail or wetbag until wash day

First things first. You’re not going to wash every dirty diaper seperately. So how do you store them until wash day? A diaper pail will make sure to keep your house smelling like roses. On the go? Our wetbags are great for storing soiled diapers while you’re out and about.

Use special washing powder

It’s important to use washing detergent that’s gentle enough for your baby’s skin, but powerful enough to tackle stains and odours. Our specially-formulated 3-in-1 detergent is perfect for soaking, washing and stain removal. Just toss your diapers in the machine, add 2 tablespoons of Bumbuns washing powder per 18 diapers, and let your washer do the hard work. Easy peasy!

Avoid Fabric Softeners

Here’s a pro tip on how to wash your reusable diapers: skip the fabric softener. While it might make your laundry feel extra soft, it can actually coat your diapers, reducing their absorbency. And we all know how important absorbency is for those little bums!

Tumble dry at low temperature

Once the wash cycle is done, tumble dry your Bumbuns at low temperature. Doing this extends the life of your diapers. Plus, it’s more eco-friendly.

Conclusion

So you see: washing your reusable diapers is not hard at all! With a good routine, your diapers will stay fresh and absorbent, keeping your baby happy. So, grab your pail, wetbag and washing powder, and enjoy the easy-peasy reusable diaper life.
