Washing coloured diapers

[Dee]

I ordered a whole bunch of pocket dipes in funky colours, but just realized that it's going to be a big pain if I have to wash them seperately from my pre folds. Anybody have any experience with this? Can I wash them all together?

I've never had a problem with any of mine. I do wash them alone the first time, just in case. I also dry my pockets one time in the dryer to 'set' the PUL but, after that line dry.

I wash my red & royal blue fuzzi bunz right in with everything else! Never had any fading/bleeding.

I always wash all my dipes and liners together and haven't had any problems with bleeding or fading. I use mostly pocket dipes (FBs, Wonderoos, etc.)

Thanks guys! I feel relieved... I had visions of me having to do all these seperate loads of diaper covers.

I had the same fear when I first bought a package of fuzzi bunz. I did wash the really bright covers separately the first time, and I threw in an old white washcloth to see if there would be a problem with fading. There wasn't, so from that point on, I've washed everything together and haven't looked back. :)

I wash all my dipes and inserts together, and I've never had any color run. And I have some interesting colors - red, aqua, bright blue, burgundy, teal, bright yellow, forest green. The only thing I've had the color run is the blue microfiber towels from Target that I use as inserts for the pocket dipes.

The only trouble I have ever had with diapers bleeding colors is in the diaper pail. A red velour diaper bled onto whatever it touched. But it all washed out.
