We recommend once per month, use up to 1/4 cup bleach in the hot wash cycle to sanitize your bumGenius diapers and fight odors. Concerned about bleach? Give your diapers an extra rinse to make sure it’s all out before baby wears it again. However, we do NOT recommend using the sanitize cycle on your washing machine.
