Treating Rashes


Even cloth diapers prevent diapers rash, babies with ultra sensitive skin may experience diapers rash from time to time. DO NOT USE ANY CREAM OR OINTMENT on your diapers. Those creams or ointments will build up in the fleece and causing the diaper to leak. If you still need to use creams or ointment, use a liner on top of your diaper inner layer. You can try treating rashes by:

  1. Clean baby with water or cloth wipes.
  2. Use natural detergent for diaper laundry.
  3. Try a diaper change. Try different kind of diaper to find the material best suit your child.
  4. Detergent build up also can lead to rashes.
To resolve detergent build up :-

  1. First, run a hot wash without detergent.
  2. Second, run a hot wash with ½ detergent.
  3. Third, rinse with cold water. Detergent must be rinsed well from the diapers. If the result still bad, repeat Step [3]. Striping wash diapers is not necessary especially for highly sensitive skin child.

Washing Your Cloth Diapers


  1. Remove the inserts from the pocket.
  2. Throw any solid waste into the toilet. Rinse to ensure all the soiled or urine is rinsed out.
  3. Adobe SystemsFold back your laundry tabs (if any) or fasten the velcro on the diaper. This is to avoid the diaper from being tangled during the washing process.
  4. Keep it in the cover bin/pail or wetbag. When it is time to wash, throw everything into you washing machine.
  5. Ensure the water level can completely cover the diapers.
  6. Use half of the recommended manufacturer detergent volume. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach.

  8. Dry your diapers. For best result, dry diapers under the sun. The sun will bleach away your stains naturally.
