Cloth Diapers Tips & Tricks

Processing used cloth diapers is not as difficult or as gross as I had imagined.  When we agreed that we were going to use cloth diapers, I put a condition on it that I wanted diaper sprayers on both our upstairs and downstairs toilets.  I’m so glad I did!  We used the directions from GidgetGoesHome.com and the final product is great and it is about half the cost of the prepackaged kits.

I’ve been told it helped that since I nursed GBaby it saved us from the “formula-diapers”.  I’ve heard they can be pretty bad.  Breastmilk diapers rinse right off and so far all of the real-food diapers have shaken right off into the toilet.  After a quick rinse, our prefolds go into the Rubbermaid until laundry day.

I also wrote Tips for Laundering Cloth Diapers that is published at Helium.com.  Check it out for more great information.

We live in a rurual area where diaper services are not available.  If you live in a more populated area you have the option of letting someone else take care of all the cr... dirty diapers. :)
