With summer finally gracing us with its presence, it's the perfect time to take advantage of the sun's natural bleaching power to give your cloth diapers a thorough clean.
Here's how to do it:
Preparation: Before washing, remove any solids from the diapers. Use a separate bucket for cloth diaper washing.
Washing: To prep for sun-drying, you can pre-soak the cloth diapers in water with a bit of detergent. Then, toss them in the washing machine with warm water and a gentle detergent.
Drying: Lay out the clean diapers on a drying rack or clothesline in direct sunlight. The UV rays from the sun will work their magic, naturally bleaching out any stains and leaving your diapers looking bright and fresh. It's truly remarkable how well this method works.
Repeat: Make this sun-drying routine a regular (while the summer lasts!) part of your cloth diaper care to keep them clean and fresh every time.
Maintaining a good washing routine is essential for keeping your cloth diapers in top condition. While washing with a gentle detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals is crucial, sometimes a little extra effort is needed to tackle stubborn stains and odours.
That's where the power of sunlight comes in. Not only does sun-drying help remove stains, but it also disinfects, leaving your cloth diapers pleasantly fresh for your little one's use. Summer provides the ideal opportunity to "reset" your diapers by harnessing the natural cleaning power of sunlight.
So embrace the summer sunshine and let nature do its thing to keep your cloth diapers clean, fresh, and ready for your baby's next adventure!
