3 rolls of flushable-biodegradable liners(100 sheets per roll), especially helpful for messy clean-ups.
Will I save money?
Yes there is a huge cost saving.
Over a 2 ½ year period (7500 diaper changes) you will spend about $600 (included are costs such as detergent, diaper pail additives, energy(electricity/gas) compared to $3000.
A saving of approximately $2400!
Do I need to pre-soak Kushies diapers?
YES, and you will need a diaper pail.
Simply half fill diaper pail with cold water and add 1/4 cup of baking soda, vinegar, or Amaze.
Fold the fastening tabs and place it in the diaper pail.
Never use a pure soap or detergent in your presoak as they will cause the premature breakdown of the fibres and wear down of your diapers.
For stubborn stains, you can scrub with an 'old~fashioned' laundry soap bar before presoaking
Which cycle should be used to wash the diapers?
Diapers should be washed separately.
When you are ready to do a wash, empty the pail right into your washing machine and spin them out.
Proceed on Normal wash cycle with the detergent of your choice.
WE CAUTION NOT USE A PURE SOAP as it can leave a fatty, waxy build-up on the cotton fibres which make the diapers less absorbent.
If you are concerned with soapy residue, we suggest that:
You increase the water level in proportion to the diapers
Reduce the amount of detergent used
Double rinse the load
Never use Bleach (powder or liquid) when washing Kushies diapers.
It weakens the fabric and is not safe for baby's skin.
Do not use fabric softner on the diapers, it leaves a coating which will decrease the absorbency. It is also not healthy for baby's tender bottom.
What about drying time?
Use on a regular cycle – it will dry in less than 1 hour
To shorten drying time, a dry towel can be thrown in to draw moisture
Make sure the Velcro closures are closed (this will prevent sticking to each other)
