Do you rinse poopy cloth diapers?

[kfillmore]

After you take off a poop diaper do you rinse and them put it in the pail? We were not plan on having a soak pail but have a cloth type laundry bag in a trash can with cover.

I have a million poop questions

At the end of the day, I take all the poopy diapers and run them through a small, cold rinse. Then they go into the dirty diaper bag until I have a full load of dirty prefolds and covers.

Hey check out the cloth diaper forum...tons of info on cloth over there...it depends how i feel at the time of the poop...lol. Sometimes i take it right away to the bathtub and rinse or go ahead and hand wash....sometimes i throw it in the dry diaper pail for a day or 2...until i hand wash all the dipes...every poopy diaper goes out on the line to sun bleach...well all our dipes hang to dr...but the sun bleaches all our stains away.

second the diaper forum recommendation!
But to answer your question no, I just chuck them into the pail n wash every other day. I do a rinse cycle before washing tho. hth. nak

I toss all diapers in the laundry hamper. But then, we've been down to 1 or fewer poopy diapers a week for about two months now.

Before solids, I'd just chuck them in with the rest of the diapers -- and do a rinse before washing.

No, post-solids, I have a sprayer on my toilet, and then toss in with the rest of the diaps

I never rinse. We dump into the toilet anything that dumps easily, and let the washer get the rest. We are very tolerant of stains, though.

I'm a rinser. But like sapphire_chan, we don't have that many poopy diapers. I third the cloth diaper forum recommendation!

[tracymom1]

I spray them with the sprayer hooked up to the toilet. If they appear stained, I spray a little Bacout by BioKleen on them and throw them in the pail. I wash every 2-3 days.

:

I do a cold rinse of all my diapers before I wash them in hot.

EBF diapers I toss in the dry pail right away, DS solid food grown up poop I rinse in the toilet first and then throw it in the pail.

Outside of rotavirus times (when hubby took care of the diapers lest I throw up all over them and make things even worse), that's how we were. I never even took my diaper sprayer out of the box (really must sell that thing someday), never dunked a diaper in the toilet.

And we actually have just about NO stains, either! (I've just been going through all the old dipes in preparation to sell them so I've been looking hard at them)

Never rinse. Spray poopies w/ a little BacOut and toss in the pail (I use planetwise pail liners). Laundry every 3 days- throw the works in the wash. I'm not ok w/ stains, makes me feel like they're still dirty and we live in NW so not enough sun to hang dipes outside to bleach out stains. So, I do a Cold pre-rinse w/smidge of baking soda, Cold/Cold wash w/Biokleen and oxygen bleach, Hot pre-rinse just water, Hot/Cold wash just water (Frontloader, that's why two cycles). We have no stains, no build-up, just nice clean dipes.

DD isn't eating a whole lot of solids yet, so I may get a toilet sprayer if necessary, or I may use the flushable liners- haven't decided yet.

I'm fascinated - how no stains?? We actually keep a special stack of stained diapers and try to time their use to limit the ones that get hit.

But, we don't have a w/d at home, so maybe because we wash every 2-3 days, the wait time sets in the stain? (Sadly, I don't have a way to line dry either for sun bleaching)

I spray all poopy dipes to prevent staining b/c I am neurotic about stains. I wash every other day. I also do a cold prewash to get all the solids out.

You don't have to spray until you feed solids, but I am just careful.

What do you spray with?

I rinse poopy diapers by hand before I put them in the machine, and I find this prevents me from having to wash them twice.

[NaturalMindedMomma]

I never rinsed when she was EBF. When it was solids, i just shook them off in the toilet. I have very little staining. I washed every other day. I did an extra rinse before in cold.

The Diaper Sprayer.

[Ifluffedthree]

what ever solids came off in the dunk and swish, came off. The rest went through an initial cold pre-wash, wash cycle.

I usually did all the soiled diapers at one time of the day for both children.

[sagemomma]

up until a few weeks ago i would plop or scrape the poo off. but a few weeks ago i bought a diaper sprayer and love it . DH even helps with the poopy ones now, there is nothing sexier then a man rinsing a cloth diaper lol , maybe it's just me though. i went a year without a sprayer thinking it was frivilous and un needed but now that i have one it's like a whole new world.
