Washing FuzziBunz


-FuzziBunz Pocket Diaper Detergent by VASKA, a natural and eco-friendly detergent made with 100% biodegradable botanical ingredients.  This detergent contains no NPEs or phosphates, so it leaves no residue build-up and you'll never have to strip your diapers again!!  The anti-bacterial and hypo allergenic detergent is ultra gentle against baby's sensitive skin.  The detergent will wash up to 96 loads of diapers - only 1/2 ounce is recommended.  It retails for $15.95

-Charlie's Soap(use 1/4 - 1/2 tablespoon) is a highly recommended detergent!  You can find it here at my shop in the accessories or at www.charliesoap.com

-For a front loading washer Allens Naturally is highly recommended and can be found at allensnaturally.com.  Other detergents may build up on your diapers in a front loader and you will need to strip them in the kitchen sink with liquid Dawn detergent.  Cheer and Tide Free are also okay for these diapers but you will need to use ¼-½ of a scoop per load and strip regularly(shown below.)

- Washing Instructions -

1. RINSE AND SPIN, or Pre-Wash Cycle - this gets most of your baby's waste out of the wash before you add detergent.

2. HOT WASH, highest water level, with above recommended detergent. Use the least amount of detergent possible to avoid build-up on the diapers (about ¼ the amount suggested on the detergent contianer).  

3. Extra rinse, if desired, to get out any leftover detergent.


-Drying Instructions -

Dry on low or medium heat in dryer with NO FABRIC SOFTNER (Line dry if desired)


- Stripping Instructions -

You will want to strip your diapers about twice a month if you are using Tide or Cheer, and only if needed with Charlies Soap.  I would recommend everyone strip their diapers regularly to keep them soft and working well. 

  1. Rinse Cycle
  2. Hot wash with 2X the detergent you normally use on diapers.
  3. Hot wash with NO DETERGENT (repeat if necessary until you see no bubbles in the wash)
  4. Dry on low or medium heat in dryer with NO FABRIC SOFTNER (Line dry if desired)
