We washed all the seat covers as long as the directions said they could be washed. The ones that couldn't got wiped down.

We use Dreft in our front loading washer. I always use less detergent than suggested anyway. My mom washed a bunch of clothes for us last week and used Tide but Caroline broke out in a HUGE rash from her face being against our clothes so I will be sticking with Dreft for a while longer.

We usually wait until we get home to wash the clothes. I even have my mom wash the coming home outfit after we are sure it fits. I packed all of Kate's clothes away in those huge Ziploc bags and then put them in a storage tote to store them. When we got home yesterday, I had Matt put the entire Preemie/ Newborn bag in the washer and we got it all done in one load.
