How do you clean these diapers after a poop?

Same way as clothes that get poop on them? Toss them or I would try to get as much off as possible, then hand wash in the tub (then sanitize the tub... Yuck!), then washing machine. I would always double up with a disposable and this when my boys didn't have a BM before we went to the pool for that reason. Just in case.

wash like you would a cloth diaper. use a diaper sprayer/bidet to hose it off or just dunk it in the toilet to rinse it off and put it in the regular wash. just make sure to wash your hands really well :)

I held it over the toilet and shook or dipped it in the toilet water and agitated. Then I washed it in the machine.

Wet wipes. I only clean it after my son wets his pants. I have used both Pampers wipes and Clorox wipes on it. Either one of them works well. Then I just use a sheet of dry paper towel to wipe the mattress dry. Let it air our for a few hours, then it's good to go. Hope this helps! This mattress is water proof, so it actually doesn't require much cleaning.

We use a sprayer that is attached to the side of our toilet to spray off poop. I didn't need to break them in, just washed them once and started using them!

Hi. These are just like any other diaper in what happens in the diaper, stays in the diaper. My old girl has pooped in the night twice, and even though it was a mess, I'm glad she went in the diaper and not on the rug. I bought a second one so if she has an accident I have a backup while the first one's being cleaned. Hope that helps.

They probably don't reach maximum absorbency until after 4-5+ washings, but I started using them after 2. You want to wash them a couple times to get off the natural oils from the cotton. When soiled with human excrement, I wash hot with an enzyme-containing detergent and then line dry or tumble dry. They are sturdy diapers. Tumble drying makes them very soft but I find the line drying makes folding easier, and sunshine can get out stains. They dry very quickly as well!

I use the Planetwise bag liner. I just throw it in the wash with the diapers.

Hi, I do wash the diapers after each use, but if youre baby only pee and the cover isnt wet you can use it again. I love Alva diapers!! and I use them with charcoal bamboo inserts and they are just perfect!!!

I have always just washed them the same as I wash my cloth diapers and then hang them to dry on a drying rack. They dry very quickly and I've had no issues. Mine are about a year old and aside from some pilling, they're still going strong!

I used this for cloth diapers as well. I added it to my prewash cycle (with detergent) then did a regular wash with detergent then an extra rinse.

I do the same thing as you do got the inserts: rinse the pee/poop, wash at hot temperature. I use home made detergent

They shouldn't smell after you wash them. You may need to change your wash routine in how often you wash and what detergent and how much you are using. Water type might have a reason behind diaper buildup as well. I use rockin green soap and I know they have options for all water types. All about cloth diapers blog is a wonderful resource!

i wash in very hot water with bleach. They come out relatively clean, not as white as new, but most of the dirt is gone

Nope but I just wiped them down with baby wipes before my baby used them. He's all over the place now walking, trying to figure out where to store then till the next little one comes!

Just wash and dry like anything. We wash in hot or warm with our cloth diapers and dry also with the cloth diapers on hot in the dryer. So, yeah, don't bother to treat them special. These things have been SUCH a lifesaver to prevent leaking. We've had them more than 2 years and they are good as when we first bought them. First used them with Bum Genius and now with FuzziBunz which we prefer (got both handed down which may be why we had leak problems in the first place). We place them on top of the stuffed diaper, not in the pocket, as they help with absorption.

Just wash them. I believe you hang dry them. So far have kept them pretty clean.

I just wash them with my cloth diapers. I use Rockin' Green detergent. I will say that I used them as a barrier to protect the diapers from diaper cream and over time the liners became water repellant. I stripped them but it didn't help. Now when we need to use heavy duty, (not cloth diaper safe) cream I use flushable liners. I still use the reusable ones otherwise though.

I will take the liners out of the diapers but wash them all in the same load of wash. That way I know both parts are getting clean.
