Question: How can I use cloth
diapers when I need to wash in a laundromat/shared laundry facility?
Answer
One of the things people are most
concerned about is disparaging stares from others as you put your dirty diapers
into the washers. The instructions below will
enable you to wash at a shared facility with confidence!
You will need:
Here's how it works:
-
After each diaper change, pre-rinse
each diaper after use using your mini-shower and squeeze out the excess water
into the toilet. Store your now basically clean diaper in the wet bag and wait
until wash day. Now you have basically clean, damp pieces of cloth that nobody will
mind or notice you putting into a shared laundry facility
-
If the washing machines have
different cycles, follow the same washing instructions as listed by
manufacturer. If not, wash everything on cold using no detergent or just
a splash of it. This serves as your pre-wash and loosens up any soil or bacteria
that built up.

Now
wash on warm using ?- ? the recommended amount of detergent
-
Sort out anything with PUL (ie. Fuzzi Bunz, Wet bags, Thirsties, also Bumkins)-line dry these.(The heat of these industrial strength dryers will ruin the waterproofing on these covers so don't even think about putting anything with PUL in there
-
Cottons
now go in the dryer
That?s
it. Really simple.
