How we wash our cloth diapers 'round these parts....

They start out here:
When He gets wet or poos we take it off and throw it in a bucket we keep in the bathroom.(If there is poo we spray it off into the toliet and flush) They sit there for about a day and a half. When the bucket is full, we fill up the bathtub. Once cold, swish swish, wash wash,and wrung out. Then we drain the bathtub, add hot water and our special soap. Let soak for 15 minutes, wash and swish. Wring out the diapers and drain the tub. Then comes the last cold rinse to get all the soap out! Then we wring and hang up to dry!
Here are some pics:

We sanitize the bathtub every time we wash diapers and before each bath.

Diaper washing can also be done easier in the washer. Hand washing just takes a little more time. It is easy peasy! Anyone can do it! Plus they are super cute and good for our environment! :D
Change 3 Things: 3 cloth diapers. One planet. Big impact.
