The people have spoken and “what is your wash routine?” won in a vote for this carnival’s topic. This can get really boring, really quick. For my entry I decided to do something fun. I present to you…. “A Continuous Motion Journey… Washing Cloth Diapers”
This “video” is actually a string of photographs taken in continuous shoot mode on a Nikon D80. I had some trouble taking true continuous shots but overall it came out ok. It was a painstaking job of editing this though. I am not sure I will do this again!
My routine from the video in detail:
- Take dirties out of my modified Diaper Dekor, place new WAHMIES pail liner in.
- Take diapers downstairs and start a double cold rinse, squirt a couple shots of bac-out in.
- Return downstairs to start my hot wash with 2 cold rinses. Add 2 scoops of Tiny Bubbles and one scoop of Bambino Mio salts for freshening.
- Another trip downstairs for a hot wash with 2 cold rinses with no detergent. Add one cap of Ecover fabric softener.
- Next trip, take clean diapers out of the washer and put in the dryer.
- (some days after this I put diapers in need of sunning outside, today there was no sun)
- Final trip, take dry fluffies upstairs and stuff, fold, then put away.
- If you were counting that is 5 trips up and down two flights of stairs.
