I received some aios through freecycle, but now I'm wondering how to sanitize them. I just really don't know anything about washing aios in the first place (I use prefolds and a few fitteds). Will the hot water ruin the pul? Any advice would be much appreciated.
I would wash them on hot with the longest cycle and do a few extra rinses. I would also put them in the dryer atleast partially then line dry. The hot water, soap and heat from the dryer will "sanitize" them
I don't think it's a good idea to boil PUL, but you can definitely wash it on hot, and one or two rounds in the hot dryer won't do significant damage. (Actually, it can help seal any holes around the stitching in the PUL, so it's not a bad idea to dry your PUL once in a while.) You can also add a few drops of TTO to the wash. Good luck!
