So, I'm at my grandmother's home over our vacation and she doesn't 'go' for the dual washing (she is a penny pincher to the core). So, I'll tell ya now - I did the 'diaper dunking' afraid of add'l stains.<br><br>
But get this . . . my mother did my first diaper load (gotta love her) and started it in HOT with regular detergent and some SHOUT Oxygen cleaner. There were 3 or 4 really filthy poopy diapers in there from our trip down (we have discovered that Kenny reacts to car rides with poopies). Well, IT ALL CAME OUT. One wash - and no stains.<br><br>
CRAZY!<br><br>
So, anyway . . . not sure if that would be an effective way to clean for those using coin ops, but I was rather impressed that there was not a requirement for a cold pre-soak to get the same effect.<br><br>
Towards the end of the week there were a few stains that were just sunned easily, but they were minimal. I was just so surprised at how well my dipes did in ONE HOT WASH!
