So here's a question:
for all of you using cloth diapers, how are they holding up?
Now that we're approaching the 2 year birthday of several of our bumgenius 3.0, I'm starting to notice their age and wear, particularly in the velcro. So I started wondering about how everyone else's are holding up? And what routines do you follow for the cleaning, laundering, care of these diapers?
Now that Boo-Rod 2 is on the way, the plan is have X totally out of diapers before baby's arrival. And most of the diapers are holding up pretty well, but the laundry tabs (where you fasten the velcro to wash the diapers) are shot, so each load I do I end up pulling diapers apart from each other, making the velcro fuzzier and fuzzier. There are a couple that I'll probably replace. Or if there's something totally revolutionary and new out there that you have discovered, please share!!
Here's our diaper care routine:
Wet, dirty diapers go in pail in bathroom (if it's dirty, we spray it off with diaper sprayer, then spray on a little bac-out).
Every other day, all diapers get washed, first in a cold soaker wash with bleach and either All Free, or Charlie's soap, and lots of water.
Second round: hot water + a little more soap.
Third round: hot water rinse. Sometimes I do this twice.
Dry on low heat (in summer, they dry on the line).
Then I pull out a tangled, velcro-y mess of diapers and begin to pull them all apart and fold them together.
Any suggestions or variations in your results??
