Oh, there def is a lot of wrong information. That is why there are countless ways to strip diapers when only 1 is necessary and 100% effective.
The three main variables that are the same for every cloth diaper mom are soft/hard water, washer type and detergent. People don't *edit* need to wash AIO or AI2 any different than a pocket diaper or prefolds.
Oh wow- I guess none of the rest of us have anything to add or know anything about cloth diapering. Adrie knows it all apparently and our wash routines are all wrong. It is getting pretty old having her take over every cloth diapering thread saying her way is the only way and the rest of us are spreading misinformation. To her I would like to say- I don't care if you say you have the knowledge of a billion years worth of cloth diapering behind you. You don't. You have only what you have read online, plus a few months worth of experience of your own with only one type of diaper, per your own admission. Be quiet and let others with more varied experience talk once in a while without accusing them of spreading misinformation. You are combative and have come in and singlehandedly made the Natural Paerenting section an unpleasant place. I'd like it to go back to being the calm and helpful resource it once was.
And for the record, I *do* sometimes wash prefolds differently than AIOs or pockets. I can wash them separately from the covers and at higher temps without worry of damaging PUL. So there.
Okay, I too will get specific. Washing any of the main types of diapers differently isn't out of necessity, but preference or choice.
I didn't take anything over and I'm not here to argue. I've posted in a few threads in the entire NP section. Someone mentioned surfactants (detergent) in relation to sanitizing (bleach), which it absolutely is not, and I pointed that out. That is misinformation. I just point it out when I see it.
I have mentioned that I am part of a community and I give information based off the collective. Anyone can take it or leave it.
