Question about cleaning Fuzzi Bunz

485 Views 10 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  BurgundyElephant
We use FBs at night and sometimes during the day. For day time when DH wets, would you restuff and use again? Or completely dry and then reuse? Or wash after each wet?

Thanks!

They are a one time use then you need to wash them.
Jennifer is right. Pee gets on the fleece obviously and you wouldnt'' want your son sitting in pee so definitely wash after one use only.

I definitely agree...they are a one use thing. Then you have to wash them.

yup, what everyone else said. The MOE site says this as well.
Thanks everyone!
This may not be completely copacetic, but sometimes I will toss them in the wash with other things (clothes, not diapers) in order to get them clean...we don't quite have enough fb to get through till the next diaper wash, so if I am washing other things, I toss them in so I don't need to use a sposie or other cover at night. But I agree with the others, wash after use.

BTW, is it bad for the other stuff that I sometimes wash (usually just one) them with other stuff, not diapers?
Absolutely one-timers, as the PPs said.

I don't think it matters if you wash them with regular clothes - if it doesn't bother you I think you should just keep up your routine. Personally I wash them separately but I've learned from others that as far as sanitation issues go, they should be fine.

I see nothing wrong with washing them with regular clothes, as long as the owners of the clothes don't mind!
(for instance I used to do that, and hubby had a fit about it...he's totally behind CDs, but really didn't like the idea of his clothes and E's dipes together)

Oh, but if you're washing them with something heavy, like jeans, I imagine, you might find your FBs "pilling". Not a huge deal, but some don't like that.

wash with each use like the pp's said,

and I have no issues washing covers and pockets with my towels or other clothes. Although with two in diapers and a family of six there is rarely room in the washing machine, so its pretty much a load of diapers a day

Should I be line drying my FB? Right now I pre-wash (hot), then wash (hot), then rinse (cold). I then throw in the dryer. Are there advantages to line drying the covers? (Not the inserts)

I've been using them for about four weeks and am pleased as punch. The baby hasn't had a rash yet and my two-yr-old's constant redness is gone.
