Detergent – which kind?
WeeCare recommends detergent with enzymes for cloth diapers. Most of the normal detergent contains enzymes but detergent for wool and delicates does not. Moreover, detergent in the form of powder is preferable because the enzymes are better..
In order to avoid perfume allergy, we recommend that you use a detergent without added perfumes. You should also use detergent for colored clothes to avoid any bleach.
Detergent meant for wool does not contain enzymes, and is not recommended for washing the WeeCare cloth diapers.
We do not recommend to use fabric softener when washing your WeeCare cloth diapers (it can destroy the absorbing parts of the diaper). But you can use calcium remover or vinegar in order to avoid too much calcium accumulation in the diapers.
