  Stains on my diapers (Mekayla)
Posted: 4:01:30 pm on 9/3/2008 Modified: Never
 
I currently run a dry pail for all my cloth diapers, and do laundry every night or every other depending on how many my little one goes through.I know you can do a wet pail but my house is 3 levels with the laundry in the basement. I had looked at doing a wet pail but it doesn't seem feasable with her room on the top floor, the bathroom on the middle and laundry in the basement. Im experiencing stains all of a sudden and they are not comming out in the wash. i have used Oxy Clean which seemed to work in the beginning, but now the stains are not comming out. The diapers are only sitting in the pail for less than 24 hours and I rinse them before they go into the wash. I have been using the dryer because she circulates approx. 12 diapers a day and Ive only bought 24, so no time for line drying. I don't want my diapers looking gross so does anyone have suggestions? Does the lemon juice work without bleaching in the sun for days? Is there any other good stain removal method anyone could suggest for my situation? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...or even suggestions for a better method. Im doing it this way because my husband remains a pessimist and I have to make cloth diapering as easy as possible for him to stay on board. HELP! (She is a breast fed baby, BTW)

Hang them in the sun and they'll come gleaming white. No lemon juice necessary (although that can be helpful for tougher stains like those from a baby on solids or formula) and it won't take days. Breastfed baby poop is notorious for staining, there's not much you can do about that (fleece liners will help a little cause they'll help keep some of the poop off the diaper, but some will likely run off or even go through). BUT as easily as it stains, that's how easily it will come out with a little sunning. Seriously, it's truly miraculous how those big bright stains will totally disappear and in only a few hours!!
