Best ways to wash cloth diapers
- Today’s detergents are very concentrated; you may not need as much as you think
- However, cloth diapers are heavily soiled laundry, treat it that way!
- Detergent that works well on your family’s laundry should be fine for cloth diapers
- Try to wash every 2-3 days
- Don’t pack the washer full!

Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air.
