What detergent do you use and how to you wash them?

Question

I’m new to this

Answer

You can use your normal detergent. However, if you use powder, I'd use liquid for the diapers. Powder detergent has a tendency to build up in the leg gussets and can cause a rash. It happened to me once, so now I use liquid on the diapers, but my normal brand.
Dump poop in the toilet. If it is a baby who is breastfed and hasn't started solids, you really don't HAVE to clean the poop out first. Though, I always did. I just use tp or wipes to move poop from the diapers to the toilet. Some people use sprayers or handwash them in a bucket.
My wash cycle is as follows:
One wash with hot water and no detergent.
Then a wash with cold water and detergent.
Some people hang dry, but I can't where I live. I just use my dryer on normal settings and my diapers I bought 2.5 years ago are still in good shape.
I wash every other day. That's about the longest you will want to go, except in the case of a one time emergency. Any longer than that can cause urine and feces build up that can make your diapers have a barnyard smell even when clean.

Answer

Powder is recommended. Usually Tide!
It needs to be a strong detergent with enzymes to dissolved human waste.

Answer

My favourite is a laundry liquid from Young Living. Thieves laundry liquid. It’s toxic free and has essential oils in it so after washing you cloth nappies will be even healthier to put into your wee bubs. And extra bonus, you can buy one bottle and dilute it by 3 because it’s so concentrated to start with.

Answer

I used tide power for 3 years because I had hard water. I did a pre wash hot heavy soil then a heavy duty wash hot heavy soil.

Answer

Both washes need detergent or you will not get them clean enough. I use tide powder, 1 line in the pre wash and 3 lines in the main wash. I wash every 6 days and I've had no issues. I suggest you join cloth diapering mamas on fb for some additional information/help.
