Diapers - Wet or Dry Pail Method
Diapers - Wet or Dry Pail Method
WET PAIL METHOD (SOAKING)
This method allows you to soak your diapers until ready to wash. The benefit to this method is easier stain removal, and less frequent laundering.
HOW TO DO IT:
Fill your pail 1/2 full with cold water and 1/4 cup of vinegar or baking soda.
Dispose of flushable liner or shake off excess poop into toilet. No rinsing is necessary (especially if your baby is breastfed exclusively).
After 3-4 days or at about 2 - 3 dozen dirty diapers - empty the contents of your diaper pail into the washer and spin out the excess liquid.
Proceed with washing instructions.
Please make sure if you are using this method that your pail is securely fastened and out of reach of children.
DRY PAIL METHOD (NO SOAKING)
The benefit of this method is a lighter pail and no diaper soup!
HOW TO DO IT:
Sprinkle baking soda at bottom of pail and line your pail with a washable bag for easy transport to washing machine.
Dispose of flushable liner or shake off excess poop into toilet. No rinsing necessary (especially if your baby is breastfed exclusively).
Put wet or soiled diapers in the pail
Do a quick cold-water rinse cycle before your regular wash cycle so as not to set any stains in the hot water wash.
Proceed with washing instructions.
If you use this method you will need to wash about every 2 days or your diapers will stink!
