Use on cloth diaper or reusable padsUpdated 2 months ago

Can I wash cloth diapers  or reusable pads with this?

Absolutely! We have used our unscented, Mama & Baby Safe detergent for our babies' cloth diapers and it works wonders. We recommend referencing your cloth diaper washing instructions for best results. Each brand has different temperature and setting recommendations. Similar cleaning methods will also apply to reusable menstrual pads.

In our blog, Stain Removal Tips we cover how best to treat a number of common stains, including diapers. The advice there, is to: 

remove any extra debris into the toilet.  You will want to wash the item twice.  First wash cycle - place garment / diapers in washing machine with ¼ c OxyBoost stain remover / water softener and 1 ounce laundry detergent.  Place laundry machine on cold, heavy soil and normal or quick/speed cycle (no fabric softener or extra rinse).  This first cycle gets the poop and urine out and washes all that yuck down the drain. 

The second cycle is what cleans the garment / diaper. Remove the garments / diapers from the side of the tank add the ¼ c OxyBoost and 1 ounce of detergent.  Place the laundry machine on its hottest and longest cycle (heavy or sanitize setting).  Do not use fabric softener and no extra rinse.  This will help sanitize the garment and diapers.
