   I've boiled mine before directly on the stove and it didn't ruin them but I don't recommend doing it often. I think it'd ruin the aplix and the PUL fabric (the water proof stuff on the outside) quickly. it wouldn't melt them, but the PUL would crack and they'd leak. bleach isn't supposed to be used either, but try hydrogen peroxide:http://allaboutclothdiapers0o0com/how-to-d…I've always used ecos free and clear and all free and clear with no problems and my son has fairly sensitive skin. make sure you use no fabric softeners or additives because they'll cause build up on your diapers and they might be an irritant to your son's skin. you can make your own detergent:http://www.thefamilyhomestead0o0com/laundr…or look at this website to find a good detergent. I've heard country save and allen's naturally work really well with diapers:http://www.diaperjungle0o0com/detergent-ch…you might have to try a few out to find one that works.I use baking soda with mine, I throw a few shakes of it into my garbage pail to combat odors. the pee diapers actually start stinking more than the poop ones and the baking soda really helps this.I'm not sure about the corn starch because everything I'm googling brings up conflicting advice. I personally avoid cornstarch and baby powder because I don't want to deal with the build up and it's not really necessary when they're wearing cloth. the liner of the diaper closest to your baby's crotch should be fleece or some other fabric that will pull moisture away so there's no need for anything to keep him dry because the diaper will be doing a good job of that, much better than disposables do.wet bags are made from the same thing fabric of your diapers (PUL fabric, polyurethane laminate), or at least every one I've seen is the same. it can be washed as long as you do it the same as the cloth diapers (in the same load ideally). don't use bleach or it'll crack. most cloth diaper brands also sell wet bags on their sites and they're all the same pretty much. get one that matches up with the size of the pail you're using and you'll be all set!

   The best method of sanitisation UV treatment- there is plenty of UV in natural sunlight and clouds don't block it so considering you plan to line dry you don't need any special sanitising treatments.You don't sterilise your own underwear do you? Baby poo is actually cleaner than what comes out of an with flatulenceTo kill ALL bacteria, you need to run them through an autoclave, and considering the only places I know of with them are hospitals or laboratories…Use a laundry detergent that has not got fragrance or fabric softeners and use half of the quantity specified on the packet. You can safely wash PUL at 110F, just don't do it too often as it can cause the laminate to perish.You can use baking soda to clean them, if you do make sure you use vinegar in the rinse to neutralise it. I wouldn't use the dusting powder because of it's cornstarch base and would recommend against it regardless of whether you used cloth or disposable. Cornstarch is STARCH- thrush is YEAST, yeast needs starch to thrive. Thrush is bad, so why use a nappy rash treatment that promotes thrush?ALL wetbags can be thrown through the wash, at their simplest they are just a sack with a drawstring made of PUL, if you want to save money on one buy a half yard of PUL fabric and sew up a rectangular bag with a drawstring closure, it's simple enough that anyone who knows how to sew won't need a pattern. I made mine out of lime green PUL and did an ornamental orange feather stitch around the edges, it looks nicer than a lot of the commercial ones.I do cloth full time and have had my clean dry ones swabbed by a lab technician friend and cultured to check for bacteria, if you dry them properly there is nothing there for bacteria to grow on.
