When I received my diapers they came with a 1/4 page of care instructions. Per the directions, on a monthly basis Clorox should be added to aid in stain and odor removal. Cringe.
I try not to use Clorox in my home any longer. So this was disheartening that I would have to reintroduce Clorox into my home. I clicked upon an alternative!
According to Healthy Child Healthy World Quick Tips for Cloth Diapering, it is suggested to use 1/2 cup of lemon juice or white vinegar. Alas, I exhale.
We have been using the cloth diapers for a month now and it is time for a freshening wash. I feel much better about the use of nontoxic vinegar.

The best way to clean cloth diapers is to pre-rinse them off in the toilet using a Bathroom Bidet Sprayer. So convenient and if you are trying to help the environment (and your pocket book) you can give it a double whammy by virtually eliminating toilet paper use, at the same time as you benefit from using it on the diapers, by using it on yourself. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: "if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn't wipe it off with paper, would you? You'd wash it off" Available at www.bathroomsprayers.com they come in an inexpensive kit and can be installed without a plumber. And after using one of these you won't know how you lasted all those years with wadded up handfuls of toilet paper. Now we're talking green and helping the environment without any pain.
