I just posted a question earlier today on this thread. I was looking for encouragement towards cloth diapering since everyone I talk to is against it for some reason or another. I got lots of great feedback on this thread so I'm hoping yall can help me with this one...
Well, dh is concerned because someone told him (and I've had others tell me as well) that people can't get water hot enough at home in their washers to properly disinfect cloth diapers and that's why you have to use a diaper service. I told him that the diaper services probably use a ton of nasty chemicals and how the hell does he think our moms did it...and their moms??
He wants proof of sorts that this is sanitary or what not. How DO you clean them anyway? Just like the rest of the laundry? With a special detergent? If so is the special detergent as bad as the chemicals from the diaper service?
Lot of questions...
