Details:
Thirsties Pre-Wash is the only solution custom formulated by a chemist to pre-clean your cloth diapers. The active antimicrobial ingredients in Thirsties Pre-Wash actually rinses bacteria from your diapers, which are often the culprit of residual odors and diaper rash.

Be sure not to skip this important step in cleaning your cloth diapers! Thirsties Pre-Wash is specially formulated to loosen and rinse away waste and works to prevent stains from setting. Our pre-wash solution is completely safe against your baby's skin and washes clean from your diaper leaving no residue behind.

Most detergents contain harmful enzymes, artificial fragrances, man-made whiteners, and leave behind harmful residues. Thirsties Pre-Wash is entirely non-toxic, is safe for your HE washer and is 100% biodegradable.

Use:
Pre-clean with 1/2 ounce Thirsties Pre-Wash on COLD (if your machine has a pre-wash cycle, use it; if not, use a short cycle). Follow with 1/2 ounce of Thirsties Super Wash in heavy cycle on HOT with an extra rinse. Allergy warning: contains honey and natural lemon juice.

Pre-Wash Testimonials
"I have tried many different detergents over the past few years of cloth diapering. I've been searching for the 'perfect detergent' (if there can be such a thing and I believe I have found the answer!)"

"We have experienced the dreadful ammonia stink that some cloth diaper users run into. I had found a temporary fix that worked for my pocket diapers but was not safe to use for my newly acquired all-in-ones. The diapers were just starting to stink (again) when I received my first order of Thirsties Pre-Wash. I decided to put it to the test. I used the Pre-Wash as suggested (just 1/2 ounce!) in my first initial cold rinse. I then followed with my hot (maybe warm, I sometimes do hot, sometimes warm) wash with the Thirsties Super Wash. When the diapers were used and dirty, voila, no more stink! I knew the Thirsties washes were working."

"My two older boys are potty trained but still have accidents at night. Most mornings I am washing sheets, pajamas and underwear that stink of pee. There are rare occasions when the pajamas came out of the washing machine still smelling. In the past, I would have just washed them a few more times (literally!) to get the stink out of them. This most recent time however was different. I decided to throw the pajamas back in the wash and do a cold rinse with Thirsties Pre-Wash in there. After that cycle, I ran the pajamas through a normal wash cycle with my regular detergent for clothing (homemade). The pajamas came out smelling CLEAN! I now KNOW it was the Thirstes Pre-Wash that really did do what it claims too; kill the bacteria in the diapers (and pajamas)! Wow!"

"I really like the Thirsties Pre-Wash and Super Wash! I am impressed with only having to use 1/2 ounce and it does a great job. I love the fact that it is made from all natural ingredients! The Pre-Wash is the best product ever. After doing my first wash there was no lingering odor like most other methods and detergents I have tried! The fact that your washing suggestions matches with your product makes laundering very effective and easy-definitely doable by anybody!"

"I loved both the Pre-Wash and the Super Wash. My diapers don't smell at all anymore after washing with your solution."

"I purposely washed several diapers that were previously stained with your Pre-Wash and Super Wash and found that they did lighten significantly."

"I am very satisfied with your Super Wash and Pre-Wash. I would certainly give it a higher rating than my regular detergent."

"It cleans, brightens, leaves no lingering odor, and no fragrance. When I first got my hands on your wash, I performed a bit of a test of my own. I have two white bath mitts for my kids. I washed one in the Thirsties Super Wash, and it is definitely brighter than the one I washed with my regular detergent! So in addition to using your Super Wash on my cloth diapers, I also LOVE to use it on my everyday white laundry. The concentrated wash mixed with hot water also took stains out of my beige carpet! Good for sensitive skin! No rashes or itching with this detergent!"

"All of my diapers were starting to smell funny, but after one wash with your Pre-Wash and Super Wash all of the smell was gone."
