Babies: Caring for Cloth Daipers

1. Fill a large pail or 5 gallon bucket (with a lid) with water
2. Swish the soiled diaper in the toilet until all particles are removed.
3. Place the urinated or rinsed diaper into the bucket.
4. When ready to wash, dump the entire bucket into the washer and put on spin cycle.
5. Wash the diapers according to manufacturer’s directions and load size.
6. Hang dry the diapers in the sun for natural bleaching or dry in the dryer.
7. Be sure to wash the diapers at least every other day.

Note: Be sure children and babies are not around buckets of water as they could drown!  I kept my covered bucket in my bathtub, near the toilet but out of site for my children.
