Soak or Dry Pail
There is no right way to store your dirty nappies, it is just
down to personal preference.
Soaking
Advantages
By keeping your nappies wet, stains do not set and so
no prewashes are needed. If you choose to wash nappies
at 40 degrees rather than 60, I would strongly recommend
soaking. Soaking nappies means they are that bit cleaner
when they go into the washing machine.
Disadvantages
It smells when you take the lid off, which means you may
need to clean the bin itself periodically. There is the
risk of the bin being tipped over or a child sticking their
head into it when full. You can avoid this by placing the
bin out of reach. The best position is inside the bath,
where it is not a big problem if it does get tipped over.
To use
Fill the nappy bin half full of water and add the nappy
bright, or 5 drops of tea tree essential oil.
Covers should not normally be sanitised, as the sanitising
agent may affect any waterproofing layer. Rinse them clean
as soon as you can, if necessary, to avoid staining.
What you will need:
Nappy Bucket.
Nappy Bright or
Tea Tree Essential oil.
Dry Pailing
Advantages
Your nappies will not smell so strongly when you come
to empty the bin,and there is no need to tip away dirty
water. This also makes it easy to transfer the nappies
into a front loading washing machine without the risk of
drips. There is also no cost of sanitising agent to consider.
Disadvantages
Because the nappies have not been stored in liquid,
they will dry to some extent, and any poo stains will set
quite easily. This means that you should wash at a
minimum of 60 degrees,and a prewash of some sort at
least occasionally is recommended. To make the nappy
bin smell nicer, add a couple of drops of lavender oil
or tea tree oil to a washable wipe or similar and
place in the top of the bucket.
What you will need:
Nappy Bucket.
Essential oil (optional, but it will smell a lot nicer).
