Boiled diapers over open fire

post #1 of 4

I'm so excited...we decided to boil the diapers in a bucket over an open fire...the water came to a boil very quickley and didnt use any gas or electricity...here's some photo's from my blog:

I boiled about 20 prefolds and all my cloth wipes and a few covers...whole process took about 5 hours. My dp kept up the fire for the first half and i kept a watch for the second half...it wasnt to hot here...were living in MX...great time to boil...i'm not sure what i'll do in the heat of the summer...i guess outside will be better than inside...considering we dont have ac in the kitchen.
I have ended up boiling them once a month...due to the harder water and crappy washing machine. You could see all the soap coming out of the diapers...it was interesting.

my dh suggested boiling a cauldron over a fire outside when i boiled ours a week ago!!! it took so long in a small pot with so many batches. i figured the neighbors in our new neighborhood might think we were witches lol.

i tried your pic, but it wouldnt come up.
