My cloth diapers have taken a beating the past week (I'll leave that to your imagination) :)
They were totally stained! Because it is finally getting nice and sunny in our neck of the woods, I decided to try "sunning" my diapers.
It is so easy and it WORKED!!!
All I did was wash my diapers like normal, but then instead of throwing them in the dryer, I put them on my laundry rack to dry in the sun.
The sun basically acts as a natural bleach and it takes the stains out.
Once the diapers were dry, I did toss them in the dryer for a few minutes because they were all crunchy from drying in the sun. But just a few minutes was all they needed and they were soft and fluffy!
I most likely won't do this very often, just when my diapers are needing a good whitening. I always am waiting until the last minute to wash diapers, and I don't see that changing in the future. I don't have time to let diapers dry outside all day long. But I do love the energy saving of not using the dryer, so we'll just have to see how it goes! :)
Happy Cloth Diapering!
