Back To Care Instructions

    • Wash every 2 days.

    • If you notice your diapers are stained, DO NOT PANIC. This is normal and does not mean that they are unclean. Simply take your freshly washed, still wet diaper outside and lay them in the sun to dry. It’s like magic… the stains will literally disappears in a few hours!

    1. As with any other diaper, remove as much solid material (flush or otherwise dispose) as possible at time of diaper change. Consider GroVia BioLiners to simplify this process.

    2. For Hybrid Shells (hook & loop only), tuck tabs under the integrated tab loops before washing.

    3. GroVia All-In-Ones, Hybrid Shells, and Soaker Pads may be washed together on warm.

    4. Add the full amount of detergent to your machine’s drawer or into the bottom of the drum.

    5. If your machine has a setting for a warm rinse prior to washing, go for it! Choose your standard wash cycle with WARM water for your wash cycle.

    6. When the wash cycle is complete, remove your now-clean diapers from the machine. Place any PUL or TPU covers or Shells on top of the dryer to air dry. Put all of the remaining diapers into the dryer and set them on a warm tumble. You can also hang-dry everything if you want to really go green and save on energy!

    7. We HIGHLY recommend that Hybrid Shells be line-dried. They dry very quickly and will last longer this way. All In One diapers and Soaker Pads may be tumble-dried.

    • Do not try to clean your diapers with tiny amounts of detergent. They will not get clean. Use the full recommended amount of detergent as indicated on the package.

    • Do not use fabric softeners.

    • In general, plant-based detergents do not clean as well as mainstream detergents. That being said, we know that some people will still want to use them. If you do decide to use an eco-friendly option, you may need to increase the amount of detergent to compensate for the weaker cleaning ability and/or add a water softener if you have hard water. If using a plant-based detergent, start with 1x the recommended amount in your prewash cycle PLUS 1.5 – 2x the amount in the main wash.

    • A diaper sprayer or BioLiners are awesome for making poop removal easy and quick.
