Thanks guys.
It sounds like you are washing more frequently than I had planned.
I was planning to wash diapers every 3 to 4 days. That probably would consist of 3 night diapers plus one more worn during the morning.
I rarely have bowel movements at night, so that has not been a problem. I take off my cloth diaper in the tub and let the diapers throughly rinse while I shower. Then I transfer them to the pail. So far I have not noticed any odor from the pail, but the local weather has been cool.
I still am trying to figure out whether and how to use chlorine bleach.
Paul, how much bleach are you adding? I would guess that if you are adding bleach at this point that there would be no need to add bleach to the wash?
Patrick, do you bother with the bleach if you have not had a bowel accident, or is that only for the messy ones?
Anyone else is invited to add their thoughts to this topic!
