Unlike cloth diapers, I really don't think the pee pads need that much treatment. Mine always come out spelling clean after a hot water rinse and regular wash cycle. |
I never found it to be a lot of work...not like at gramma's when I was itty bitty...(I am only 26 now
) with the rub board, and all...
...and it was a lot less smelly than disposables. It did take a little time, especially the folding part. The stuff in the wash took care of most of it, and it was only a couple seconds to dump all the liquids and powders...and shave the laundry soap up...into the automatic dispensers...which I've always had, as well as a pre-wash-soak--advance-to-wash cycle on my washing machines. The final vinegar rinse took care of so much in the way of micro-organisms...although I washed just about every day...and made the diapers 'rash-free' as well. It was a trick I learned from my gramma, who used vinegar almost as much as water...
...and my pediatrician said that was how diaper services made their diapers "diaper rash free' too.
