The skinny:
Your diaper is made from fabrics made from synthetic and natural/organic materials (unless you have a fully organic fitted, but those are rare). With any fabric, harsh chemicals can be damaging with one use, or consistent use. Please follow the recommended washing instructions for best results.
Prepping your new diaper:
Hand wash in hot water with blue dawn dishsoap. Rinse really well and throw in with a load of dirty diapers. Absorbency will continue to improve as diaper breaks in.
Suggested washing instructions:
Rinse at least once so you're not washing your diapers in pee/poo water.
Wash on hot with your detergent of choice. (This is a personal choice, as different detergents work for different areas.)
Extra rinse to wash away soap.
*DO NOT BLEACH YOUR ROBIN DIAPERS.
**if stripping is needed, please soak overnight in hot water and blue dawn dishsoap. Rinse, rinse, and rinse until you don't see any more bubbles.
**Robin diapers are guaranteed for up to 3 months for construction error. If construction errors occur, you will be provided paypal to ship item back. If you do not, Robin diapers is no longer responsible for repairs or replacement. Robin diapers is not liable for replacement or repair of destruction of a diaper due to user error or regular wear and tear.
Diapers are made of fabric. When washed as often as they are, fabrics in diapers will fade, wear out, etc. This is the nature of fabric. How long did your favorite shirt or underwear last before you wore a hole in them?
My diapers are built to last as long as possible, and have lasted over 2 years in our home, but they won't look as pretty as the first wash. I will say they absorb just as well now as they did then.
