The DONTs

1. Never use fabric softerner on your cloth diapers. Fabric softerner will create a wax layer on the diaper, hence making the diaper water resistant and may cause leaking.
2. Never use chlorine bleach too. It is too harsh for the fabric as well as your baby's skin
3. If you have to use diaper cream, make sure you put a diaper liner on the diaper. Diaper cream will make the diaper water resistant and cause leaking.

THE DOs

1. Pre-wash your diaper 3-5 times before use. Cloth diaper will become more absorbent after each wash.
2. Use detergent that is free from softerner, chlorine bleach, brightening agent and enzyme.
