@miminonoko You really need to do a soak, a wash won’t sanitize. And you need to use cold water, because hot water will deactivate the bleach. 1/2 cup of bleach in half a bath tub full of cold water for 30 minutes. Rinse them by hand in hot water then do a hot wash cycle to deactivate the bleach.

@rudolph This is what I was going to suggest. The great thing about fleece liners is that you can make them whatever shape you want. In this case, the bigger the better. The same shape and size as the whole inside of the diaper would be best. I’ve never had them wick onto clothes either, so...

@jacksonstewart Walmart has cheap microfleece blankets for $2.50 each, it’s hard to beat that price for the fabric. You can just buy it by the yard as well though, try to avoid anti-pill and polar fleece though, as they can repel.

@luke Don’t flush the paper towels! They will definitely clog up your plumbing. Use a trash can instead.

@walkwithme It’s fine to wash everything in cold if you’re using a synthetic detergent. I have been for years. Plant based detergents require a hot main wash. Prewash temp is your choice.

@klewanne Half full is generally ideal for HE washers. I’d bet your issues are coming from not doing two full wash cycles. The first should have a little detergent to get the bulk of the waste out, then more in the second to really deep clean them.

@ntenda Honestly if you’re second guessing cutting them up, you could probably easily resell them to someone who wants to use them as is and get your money back. Either way it’s not a big deal, don’t beat yourself up over cutting them up.
