Cloth Diapering: Say What?! - Laundering

I had lots of questions after the last video post which led to this new installment about laundering your cloth diapers. Here is what I do to wash Vivian's cloth diapers. It is by no means the only way or the right way. It's just what I do and what I have learned over the past 8 months.

Here's a link to buy Rockin Green Detergent.

And more more thing I think will need some clarifying. When it comes to poopie diapers, breast fed baby poop is water soluble. So there is no need for rinsing or cleaning off excess poop before washing. However, that is not the case with formula fed babies and babies who eat solid food. So, you will have to either clean the diaper off with toilet paper and throw the poop in the toilet or install a sprayer beside your washing machine to remove the poop before you wash them. I have a wash tub beside my washing machine and I just spray the diaper off before I put it in the washer. It works good for me. If you are not good with gross, smelly things, cloth diapers might not be the thing for you.

Stay tuned for the next video about what creams/ointments you can use with cloth diapers and how to make sure you do not need to use any.
