Most say don't bleach, and you don't want to use fabric softeners either. Fabric softeners contain a waxy substance that makes fabric less absorbent over time. Urine is relatively sterile; you really shouldn't need anything special to clean the pads, just regular detergent. I dump poop in the toilet, and it is loaded with bacteria, so you would want to use very hot water if your pads are smeared with poop and even possibly a little bleach, but that depends on your pad. Also if you pads are smeared with poop, you might want to change the diet. I have white pads, that I have not trouble keeping white, and it's been 5 plus years. What happened did your baby eat the disposable? |
