PROPER CARE FOR YOUR CLOTH DIAPERS

[Motherdragon]

Very few people will put a fully soiled diaper in there wash without using a pre-method of removing the bulk down the toilet.  Even disposible diapers instruct you to deposit the fecies down in the toilet before you through them away (though very few follow the directions).  There are three main options for pre-disgarding poop. (1) SOAKING- this is good for removing tough staines, but it can get messy.  (2) DUNKING- Works great to knock off the bulk, but some people get grossed out with the posibility of getting their hands in toilet water.   A dunker arm may remidy this situation.  (3) DIAPER SHOWER- Cost ~$35.00, works great to remove the bulk, but my splater water back on the floor is presure is to high.  You may consider using a shield with this method.  If you regular shower nosil is long enough to reach your toilet you may consider using it unsid of purchasing a diaper shower.
After anyone of these methods are use diapers contain very little, if any poop.

Don't forget that you can leave you washer lid up to soak your diapers as long as you'ld like.  I would recumind using one of the methods above before placing your diapers in the wash.

If you are still perinoid about poop residue in the wash, consider runing a small empty load of bleach water to sterilize after diaper watching.   Again, leave the washer lid up if you would like to soak the washer longer.

*Just some tips to remember*  You never want to use chemical deturgents for your diapers.  Not only are they bad for the environment, but they leave residue in your diapers that rendure the absorbancy, and may iritate your babies skin.  Oxyclean and a few drops of tea tree oil work perfactly to wash and sanitize your diapers.  You can also use Hot water (165 degrees) or higher to sanitize your diapers.  DONT USE HOT WATER WITH YOUR COVERS OR ALL-IN -ONE DIAPERS!  IT WILL DESTROY THEM.

You may dry FITTED DIAPERS, SOAKERS, AND PRE-FOLDS on high heat.  Low, tumble dry your ALL IN ONES.  AND air dry all COVERS.  WOOL COVERS require special washing and drying care.  Refure to company directions to insure maximum life off all your cloth diapers.  IF CARED FOR PROPERLY YOU MAY BE ABLE TO RE-USE YOUR DIAPERS FOR 3 OR MORE CHILDREN.  That's a total savings of over $6,000.00 in comparison to disposibles!!!
