WASH AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS Q. Do I need to pre-wash my FuzziBunz? A. When you first get your FuzziBunz, try them on your baby for fit BEFORE washing. If they fit, yes, you should wash the diapers before wearing.
Q: How do I wash my FuzziBunz? A: Here are some simple instructions to caring and washing your diapers: FuzziBunz are single use diapers. Wash both the FuzziBunz and insert after each use. When wet, separate insert and FuzziBunz and store in a dry diaper pail. If soiled, simply knock solids into toilet. Small solids stuck to the fleece will dissolve in the wash. Use a mini-shower toilet attachment to rinse off soiled diapers over the toilet (optional). First, run a cold rinse or soak cycle with no detergent. Second, run a hot cycle with detergent (see Recommended Brands). Do not use bleach. Third, if your hot wash is not automatically followed by a cold rinse, run a cold rinse cycle. This step only necessary with a particularly dirty load. Tumble dry the diapers in dryer on low or hang to dry. Do not use fabric softener or pure soap*. Never dry on high heat.
Q. Should I use hot water to wash FuzziBunz and how hot? A. Yes, it is okay to use hot water to wash your FuzziBunz, even on the hottest setting. However, keep in mind that you should dry your diapers on a low setting in your dryer.
Q. What kind of detergent is recommended to use with Fuzzi Bunz? A. Tide Regular or Free, Cheer Regular or Free, Arm and Hammer Regular or Free, Allen's Naturally, E-Cover or Purex and Charlies Soap – the two highest recommended are Allen’s Naturally (www.allensnaturally.com) and Charlies Soap (www.charliesoap.com).
Please note that most detergents sold in health food stores are NOT suitable for FuzziBunz because they use citrus oils as a surfactant – what gets stuff clean. Citrus oils will cause repelling because oil and water do not mix. We have tested many “natural” detergents for use with FuzziBunz and Allen's Naturally, E-Cover and Charlie’s Soap are the only three detergents that we have found that have been successful at cleaning FuzziBunz and ARE natural alternatives to store bought detergents. Soap Products such as Dr. Bronners will leave soap scum on the fabric. Dreft has softeners which cause repelling as well.
