Prepping Cloth Diapers

This is a very scary process to me!! I don't want to do something wrong to them and possibly mess them up in some way!!  Probably this weekend I will try to wash all my prefolds first, and then do the covers and everything else.  I have read that I should wash my prefolds at least 4 times before the first use because each time you wash and dry them, the fluffier they get and the more absorbent they will be.  My covers with the PUL lining supposedly need to be washed and then dried the first time only preferably.


Hopefully when I do all of this I won't mess them up or make them less absorbent, I am going to get different detergent today to use as well.  I have a High Efficiency front loading machine and am going to start with Tide original powder for HE.  Crossing my fingers and my toes that it works!  I would love for the Tide to work because then I could just use the same detergent for all of our laundry and not have to teach my husband how to help with the laundry! :-)
