Hi girls. I'm new cloth diapering mom. any suggestions on how I can make sure that my cds will last as white as it is when I bought it? One of my cloth diapers has a stain that I cant remove even when I hand washed and machine washed it already.

Wow! Good to know your into cloth diapering also. At first I thought cloth diapering is difficult and impossible for us, but I'm proud to say we're already on our 1st year of exclusively cloth diapering. Here are my tips on how your cloth diapers (especially inserts) can still be white (though not as white as new, it's normal for clothes to show signs of usage): 1. Always pre-rinse or pre-wash your cloth diapers. This does not necessarily mean rinsing or washing it immediately after use (we have other chores to attend to), you can put all soiled nappies in a bin and rinse or wash it at the end of the day. I do suggest though to wash it immediately when it has poops, to prevent the smell on sticking on the cloth diapers. 2. Hang it under the Sun but not too long especially those with PUL. Too much exposure may damage the PUL, but the Sun do the magic trick in removing stubborn stains. 3. I used to soak our cloth diapers with baking soda but after some time I stopped using it as I noticed there's not much difference with or without baking soda. Some moms have great experience with baking soda though in making their cloth diapers white so I include this on my tips. You may also try and see for yourself. 4. I will just add this, this is not to make cloth diapers white but to prevent your diapers from getting stinky. I use vinegar with the last rinse, 1 cup (cup of zonrox) is enough for a large basin. I'll add more depending on the numbers of our cloth diapers. When your cloth diapers are dry, it smell fresh, no trace of pee or poop smell. Hope these help you in your cloth diapering journey! Enjoy.
