How can I prevent pilling and remove pills?

When laundering diapers, use a slower agitation and a shorter wash cycle.
Use a mild detergent or allow powdered detergent to dissolve completely before putting diapers in the machine.
Remove diapers from the dryer as soon as they are dry.
To remove pills, use a battery-operated pill remover, which shaves the pills from the surface of the diaper.
