Washing cloth diapers is dont TOTALLY different by everyone who has them! Here is my routine. It seems complicated but once you get used to it it's not bad. I wash about every other day. I have a top load washing machine.
This is the link for the simply clean detergent that I use: www.simplycleanok.com (try monkey farts sent - it smells good and my kids love the name!!)
For washes during the week I;
cold rinse w/ 1 tbsp Simply Clean
Hot wash w/ 2 tbsp Simply Clean
Cold rinse again
On weekends I wash the diapers with 1/4 cup REGULAR tide and no simply clean. It seems to get them just a little cleaner but you do need to do an extra rinse to make sure to get it all out.
On the first of every month I "strip" all my inserts. You can do this if they get stinky or if they start to smell like ammonia. I do a cold rinse, then a hot wash with a 1/2 - full cup tide and a full cup bleach. Then three - four rinses to make sure to get all the bleach out so it does not irritate my kids bottoms.
