Help?!?!

We're starting off with GMD prefolds and covers (a mix of Thirsties, Bummies, and Prowraps) for this kiddo. GMD sent a great how-to guide on prepping the prefolds.... but I'm still confused on what needs to be done to prep the covers. Do we just wash them once before using or do they need more prep than that like the prefolds. TIA!

The covers shouldn't need any prepping.

They dont need prepped per say but a wash and dry (in drier) to seal them from being sewn never hurts. I never put anything on my babies without washing first.
