Again, this is a personal preference. While the unbleached are better for the environment (the bleaching process produces a toxic byproduct- dioxin) and they tend to be softer some people prefer the cleaner look of bleached. One thing to consider, unbleached fabrics are much less processed and will therefore have a period of pilling. Small balls of fibers may be shed off of your unbleached prefolds for the first month or so of their life. This is normal and should be expected.

A blend of both hard and soft wheat flour. Most of the white flour is bleached to increase the whiteness and enriched to replace a few of the nutrients removed during milling process.

Bleached knots is a technique where they bleach out the knot that is made when each strand of hair is hand-tied into the lace at the base of the cap. It bleaches the knot out, making it a little lighter so that it does not stand out as much. It gives it a more natural appearance as though the hairs are growing out of the scalp. This is recommended when you choice a dark hair color. More info. See similar questions...

Prefolds need to be washed and dried 3-5 times before use. When you receive them they feel flat and hard but they quilt up and become buttery soft when the washing and drying is done.

Unfortunately, dental bondings, composite resin fillings (tooth colored fillings) and old crowns cannot be bleached. Fillings that have discolored indicate that they are either leaking or have secondary decay, so it is best to replace them. A better choice may be to replace them with porcelain laminate/veneers for longer lasting results. Remember; only replace these fillings after bleaching in order to match the new improved color of your teeth. See similar questions...

Chuckwagon's Best Flours are "bleached" resulting in pearly white grain. After flour has been ground and blended to the desired mix of particles. Bleaching removes the light yellow color caused by xanthophylls, a variety of carotenoid also found in potatoes and onions. The color has no practical or nutritional significance and is oxidized simply to obtain a uniform whiteness preferred my many bakers. Bleaching is a process used to age or "improve" the flour.

Everyone is different; and just as our hair and skin colour varies, so do our teeth. Some teeth have a yellowish tinge, some are more beige – very few are actually ‘white’. Teeth also yellow with age can become stained on the surface by food and drinks such as tea, coffee and blackcurrant. Calculus (tartar) can also affect the colour of the teeth. Some people may have staining inside their teeth. See similar questions...

New unbleached cotton prefolds look very flat and stiff before you wash them because the diaper retains a lot of natural waxes found in cotton. They will not absorb anything in this state! You need to pre-wash them before use to remove these waxes. Any unbleached cotton or hemp diapering product needs to be repeatedly washed in the hottest water you have until the natural waxes and oils have been removed. I do not find drying to be necessary during break-in washing. See similar questions...

This is folklore! Perms, bleaches and haircolors only affect hair above the scalp. The hair will grow back exactly the same color that it was. The new hairs that are "growing in" may appear to be darker in color than you remember your natural hair, but this is an optical illusion. Also new hair growth has not yet had a chance to be lightened by the sun or alkaline processes such as shampooing. See similar questions...

When dark hair is tied to the hairpiece base it creates a knot. Where the knot is tied a dark dot appears on the skin, especially when the base is lace. Lace material does not hide knots as well as a monofilament base does. Bleaching the knots, is usually only on lace front areas, but sometimes it may be necessary to do it to the hold piece. This makes the knots hard to see and it helps create the illusion that your hair is growing from the scalp. See similar questions...

If there is color loss in the carpet, it may be able to be spot dyed, or we can do a carpet repair for you by replacing that area of carpet with another piece from a closet. Berber - Absolutely. Berber is a weave, not a particular type of fabric. Berber is simply a type of loop construction that may come in olefin, nylon, wool, or a blend. Berber requires a more thorough cleaning than other carpets because the "flushing" action needs to take place to get under, around, and through the loops. See similar questions...
