Yet another cloth wipe question. I am gearing up to order some cloth wipes and today we had a really messy poop that requires lot of wipes and I was thinking to myself...would I need to rinse the poop out of the wipes before tossing in with the dipes? I always rinse the poop out of my dipes and then throw then in the dry pail.
Thanks again mamas.
Only when they're REALLY gross. Usually I didn't bother. They got prerinsed in the washer with the rest of the poopy diapers, then washed in hot water with ALL the diapers, and they came out fine. Some got stained, but that never bothered me.

I put sometimes because I will "fling" poo chunks into the toilet if they're hanging on (as I would a diaper), but the smeared on poo I just leave on there. It's no messier than the diaper itself, and comes out in the pre-soak that I do. I've never had any stains (except for one that seems to have been used for something bizarre, but it's not a poop stain for sure!)

If it's solid I dump it out in the toilet. Otherwise I just wash with Planet detergent. Sometimes I have to do it twice to get the smell out but I'd rather do that than play with poop in the sink!
I put yes because most of the time I do. And my rinsing is dunking and swishing in the toilet. Since I only wash every 3-4 days, I feel I need to or they really stink and are more likely to stain.
