Charlie banana soap

I've been using Charlie banana soap the last few washes and I must say I like it! The only problem with staining I've had is on my Applecheeks bamboo wipes but they stain no matter what soap I use. My washing routine is a cold rinse, hot wash after the spin i pull out the covers and hang to dry, then the liners go for one more rinse before a medium dry. You don't have to do the extra rinse but I find that the extra rinse help get rid of deep staining without it I have minor staining on the liners. Another tip I've gotten to prevent staining is to sun dry but with hemp liners and some cotton ones they become stiff sundrying. But that's my washing routine. Thank you for reading

Cloth diapering

So I've gone back to cloth diapering now that we have a washing machine again. Tsula has started to get fussier and fussier during changes now! I have all pocket covers but I dont always use them that way. My liner consists of prefolds, flats, doubles and liners in all kinds of fabrics except wool. I haven't gotten my hands on any wool liners yet. I've also started making my own cloth diapers. However, at night time I use disposables because she is an extremely heavy wetter! I've tried everything except wool and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING. At naptime i stuff a folded bamboo flat in the pocket use a cotton doubler and a gerber prefold. She naps for 2-3 hours and usually wakes up pretty soaked but no leaks. (Well no leaks yet). Today while Tsula is napping I'm going to post somethings about cloth diapering.
