FAQS
- How do I prep my new Bee Changed Diapers? Visit our Getting Started Section under Cloth 101 for more info
- How do I get a good fit with Bee Changed Diapers? Visit our Getting Started Section under Cloth 101 for more info
- Do I need to soak my diapers? No. Knock solids into toilet and put the diaper in a pail or wetbag and wait until wash day. We do not recommend leaving diapers unwashed longer than 3 days.
- Why can’t I use my regular detergent or other ‘natural detergents’? The additives in detergents that are not clearly cloth diaper approved do not rinse out of diapers and build up over time. With the buildup, diapers will lose their absorbency and begin to leak. Protect your investment by following recommended guidelines.
- What can I do to get the ammonia smell out of my diapers? Ammonia is a buildup of salt from urine. We recommend Rockin’ Green’s Funk Rock to fix the problem.
- Why do my diapers stink even though they are clean? 1. You may not be using enough detergent 2. You may be using too much detergent. To find out which, put diapers in a hot wash cycle with no detergent and if you see bubbles, you are using too much detergent. If there are no bubbles you are not using enough detergent.
