Bacteria In Cloth Diapers

* Washing at 60°C kills the most bacteria. From time to time cloth diapers with recommended washing at 60°C  can survive washing at 90°C as well , but it's on your own risk. Washing at too high temperatures is very bad for elastics and aplix.
* If you're able to sun dry your inserts, the sun acts as a natural disinfectant (and also removes stains/whitens so your inserts will look pretty spectacular).
* Tea tree essential oil and vinegear have disinfection properties.
* Mio Fresh Bambino Mio was made for cloth diapers disinfection. It works already at 40°C and deodorizes as well.
* Add 2 tablespoons of Sodium Percarbonate to a hot wash cycle. Sodium Percarbonate is a free-flowing powder with a common name of solid hydrogen peroxide, it is an addition compound of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It breaks down to oxygen, water and sodium carbonate upon decomposition. It is an environmentally safe bleaching agent. It dissolves into water rapidly to release oxygen and provides powerful cleaning, bleaching, stain removal and deodorizing capabilities in addition to being highly effective at killing bacteria, fungus, viruses and algae. It has the added advantage of no odour, non toxic, and non polluting. It is very effective as a laundry presoak for heavily stained articles. It is color safe. It brightens colors and prevent fabric form become yellowed or darkened. In order to kill the bacteria I would recommend bleaching the inserts only, do NOT bleach any products containing PUL such as pocket diapers or diaper covers.
* You don't have to iron your cloth diapers to get them sterile. Not cloth diapers not disposable diapers are sterile, for a simple reason, you keeping them in a unsterile wardrobe. If you want to give yourself more work you can iron square and prefold diapers but be sure not to iron any diapers containing PUL of aplix. Ironing will make diapers softer.
