is this washer for cloth? or just extracting some kind of herb or something like that? is it okay to wash my baby's cloth?

This machine, by design is a clothes washer, popular in Asia and many other (non USA) countries around the world. In this particular instance this one is re-branded and being sold with a 220 micron pouch for use as an extraction machine to make "bubble hash" out of marijuana. You can of course use it safely to wash your baby clothes. However, I would recommend the Panda or Basecamp washing machines over this model. This one has been marked up in price for no real reason, and the mesh bag will be of no use to you. It is not tough enough for clothing use. The Panda and basecamp machines are less expensive, and better models when it comes to reliability and motor power for clothes. This model is only about $30 USD in China! (Talk about killer profit here!) Anyway, I hope this helps you! Oh and on another note, none of these machines have a spin dry function. You will want to pick up the small blue spinner (1,600 ROM)for lighter things like the baby clothes, or the bigger 3,200 RPM for when you need things almost completely dry out of the spinner, or larger things spun. The larger spinner is much more expensive, and even the smaller one drys things much more than a typical washing machine spin cycle.

If you have an HE washer, the box recommends you use 1/4 of a scoop. When I washed cloth diapers in my HE washer (full load) I used 1/2 a scoop and did 2 extra rinses after the wash cycle to be sure it was all out. I can't speak for washers that aren't HE.

Yes the cloth is removable for cleaning. You just disassemble it the reverse of the way it was assembled. Haven't cleaned mine yet and will wait until something more than flour or cornmeal gets on it.

I have not used it for that purpose. I have used it on baby clothes. It does a great job on them. I use it with Nellie's washing soda. No irritation. The washing soda is the soap.

I use a single hemp insert inside Thristies covers. Works wonderfully. With cloth diapers you should change after every wet, and one insert should be plenty absorbent for one wet. My baby is 4 months old and one wet leaves only half the insert wet, so it theoretically could hold two wets from a baby her size/age, but more likely only one wet for older babies and toddlers. LOVE this system because it is sooo TRIM under clothing!

It was a gift so I can't answer those questions. However, if you call the manufacturer they can nest answer that. I did see it I the store before purchasing it here. I would assume you would out a towel or some sort of covering under the baby to see things clean. Sorry I was unable to answer your questions.

I unfortunately can't answer this directly, b ut I can tell you all I did was put a towel under the baby each time I used it, worked fine :)

Absolutely, been using with cloth diapers, and all my other laundry, for 15 months now. I wash thed iapers with hot water, and a little sack of soap nuts. Perfectly clean.

The gadget is made to put your own baby washcloths in and pour a mixture of solution over them. They are then warmed and damp. My granddaughter and I love this. We frequently put regular washcloths in it for our faces.... She is 2 so it is fun with her.

In my opinion, this item is by the babies face, therefore wash before use!!!

They would make very nice cloths for dealing with a toddler. I would cut the cloths in half if you plan on throwing it away after short use. The cloths are not impregnated with any thing. They are just nice soft cloths that wring dry. I love them.

I wash everything for baby before 1st use in dreft just to make sure it's clean, but if you absolutely don't want to wash it I would put it in dryer for a few minutes to make sure there is no dirt or dust on it!

The advice to use special detergent is really not necessary. In order to prep cloth diapers made of natural fibers (cotton, bamboo, hemp), it is recommended that you wash then dry 3 to 5 times. You should dry between each wash. Because they are not soiled with human waste, feel free to throw them in with your regular laundry such as towels. The reason for the multiple washes is to help get the natural oils off the cloth that are present with natural fibers. For this reason, it is often recommended not to prep them with your other cloth diapers (for the concern of the other diapers getting the oils on them and then causing repelling issues.) I have never done this though, and I've never experienced an issue with repelling. Also, in regards to special laundry detergents... Rock n Green and other "CD Safe" detergents are a total joke. They don't clean well at all, and most people who start out using this detergent end up with stink issues in their diapers (they look clean but smell awful when wet) and even rash issues. It's not complicated with cloth diapers. Just be common sense about them... (don't use fabric softener as that coats the diapers and can cause them to be less absorbent.) Consider them your dirtiest clothes. Wash with a good mainstream detergent such as Tide Ultra Powder and use plenty of detergent (a full scoop) because you want to get out all the yuckies! Rinse a couple of times if you have lots of suds. I know this answer is above and beyond your question, but I just hate to see bad information shared! Cloth diapering fails when it becomes too complicated and when rashes happen due to diapers not being cleaned well. Good luck and have fun with it!

There are many different wash routines which can work for these diapers, and the wash routine will depend on the type of washing and drying machines you have as well as what kind of water you have (hard, normal, soft). Generally, you pull the inserts out of the diaper before washing (they will simply bunch up in the pocket), these diapers are best with a REAL detergent such as Tide, Arm and Hammer, Free and Clear (cloth diaper detergents generally do not get the job done as they have a lot of softeners and not much detergent). A prewash with a small amount of your chosen detergent is best to start, you will get most of the dirty washed away after this wash (think about it, first wash will be potty water) and you can do a full cycle next (next wash will be clean water as you have washed the potty water away). Personally, I did an extra rinse afterwards just to be sure all of the detergent washed away as it would go on baby's bum. I dried these diapers on medium heat but they also had no issues on medium heat or air dried. I would highly suggest looking up a group called Fluff Love and CD Science on facebook; these women are experts in all of the factors in washing cloth diapers such as High Efficiency machines vs old style machines, hard water, and the best detergents for baby's needs. With a little research to find your best method, these are easy to use and easy to clean. I was very pleased as the washing aspect is the most intimidating! Good luck, I say go for it!

I see no reason why you could not wash cloth diapers in here. You can only do a few at a time and you would have to ring them out and hang dry. Large towels would be to big. But a pair of jeans maybe.

I have a hemp cloth filter which I use with this and it filters EVERYTHING, but the cloth filter alone gets clogged too quick. I like using both because together they work perfectly, and the cloth filter can be washed or just rinsed out. Been doing it this way for many years now and am very happy with it. If you can't find a cloth filter to go with this, I'd also use paper filters with it. (Which I hate because of the environmental issues, not to mention the ones that are white are made white with bleach, and the brown ones cost more, and you have to keep buying the paper ones.)

I've used the washer and dryer. It's not as soft as it was but I think that was probably inevitable. Nowadays I can't pull it away from my daughter long enough for a full wash cycle so I just give it a quick hand wash with a tiny bit of all free and clear, rinse well, ring it out- and give it back a little damp. It air dries fast.
