Drying methods

Air drying

This is the most natural and gentlest way to preserve your cloth diapers. In addition to respecting the fibers, the fresh air helps eliminate odors.

Tip: Expose the diapers to the sun for a few hours for a natural whitening effect, but avoid prolonged exposure of the waterproof parts (PUL) to avoid weakening the fabric.

Drying on a radiator

An effective solution in winter, but be careful of high temperatures which can damage elastic fibers.

Tip: Place a cloth between the radiator and the diaper to avoid direct contact with the heat.

Using the dryer

The tumble dryer is useful for speeding up drying, but it must be used with caution.

• Recommended mode: Choose a gentle or delicate program.
• Inserts: They tolerate heat better, but excessive temperature can alter their absorption capacity.
• Caution: Handle the diapers only after the PUL has cooled to avoid any deformation.

Near the stove or fireplace

Natural heat can be beneficial, but maintain a safe distance to avoid damaging the fibers or causing a fire.

Precautions for hanging clothes

Handle rubber bands with care

The elastics of TE1 and classic diapers are more susceptible to wear. Avoid hanging them directly by the elastics to avoid prematurely loosening them.

Adapt your techniques according to the type of layer

• TE2 and TE3: Generally more resistant, they withstand hanging better.
• Pre-plated and swaddled: Can be dried at high temperatures without risk.

Conclusion

Drying is a key step in maintaining the quality of your cloth diapers. By choosing the right method and taking a few precautions, you'll ensure optimal comfort for your baby while extending the life of your diapers.
