Sometimes, however, it is different because HE wash machines use as little water and energy as possible to clean your laundry. This can be good and bad. When washing dirty cloth diapers, it is extremely important to be sure that your bumGenius, Flip and Econobum covers are getting cleaned enough. If not, your cloth diapers may start to stink due to detergent build up and left over messes, which could irritate your baby’s sensitive skin. Finding the
