Thank you so much for the information. I am new to cloth diapers as I will be a first time mom this year & no one else I know around here cloth diapers. I am hoping that my cloth diapering will inspire some others to start cloth diapering as well! I read all the advice & articles I can right now. Any tips you have for washing cloth diapers ( hemp and organic cotton inserts, with PUL covers) would be great!

I’ve been using baking soda and vinegar together in my cold pre-wash cycle regularly (baking soda in wash portion and vinegar in the rinse portion via the fabric softener dispenser). Is this bad? I haven’t noticed any residual vinegar odor or problems with my PUL. If acidity is the problem, obviously my baking soda is neutralizing it. If I’m using the two together, is there any problem? Also, would the Thirsties pre-wash solution eliminate my need for the baking soda and vinegar combo?

I think you mean grapeFRUIT seed extract.

Melaleuca has a great tea tree oil. They also have a product called solumel that has the oil in it that works great when added to your load of dipes. Want to know more let me know! Shannon ‘olson’ Warlop (on FB)
