[asrai]

I have been washing all our clothes in cold for quite some time. Even DD's cloth diapers. There have been no problems. I let everything soak for several hours or overnight (esp diapers which also get two extra rinses and vinegar and baking soda). And then I hang it all to dry (not much right now since my clothes rack is dead).

I have had very problem with stains. They don't get set in from drying in a hot dryer for one. And I use Tide and let them soak and have had few problems.

When it's warm enough out I hang the diapers in the sun which bleaches them. Of course I've had about a week of sunny evenings in which to do so (we only get sun in the evening on our balcony).
