woollen	necessary.	If manufacturer	recommends		machine washing:

Diapers	When using chlorine bleach for soaking, add detergent to load. Avoid
	overuse of fabric softeners. Absorbency will be reduced.

2.Spin excess water from diapers before washing.

3.Wash diapers as you would wash white cottons and linens.
