boiling hemp fitteds

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
i just ordered a couple of cricketts hemp fitteds and im excited to try them. i know they will need washing to prep them, but we dont have a washer at my house. i have to take my laundry next door to my moms, and she doesnt like me running the washer over and over to prep diapers (gee mom, why not? lol). i have a huge soup pot here though. can i boil them to help speed up the prep time? i dont want to ruin the snaps or elastic, especially on a brand new diaper. and how do you all like these fitteds? dd must poo with some serious force, because no matter how i fold the prefold now the poo escapes onto the cover. i wash our covers by hand in the sink , and im tired of washing poop off of them with my bare hands so im trying to build our fitted stash. ok, really the poo thing is just an excuse to buy some more diapers

You can boil them for 15 mins or so, and that should work. You can pour some water on them afterward to see how well they are absorbing. If they still don't absorb well, boil them again or run them through the washer.
