Replying to @Heather InProgress W Have you ever had bugs in your diaper laundry? First, Bugs happen. Take a deep breath and don't freak out. Now that you've had a second, let's get rid of maggots on cloth diapers. Bugs are a natural part of our everyday life. They're the reason we have beautiful flowers, but they're also responsible for breaking down waste and turning it back into the soil that those beautiful flowers to grow and thrive in. We need them—outside of our homes. Here's how to prevent bugs like flies, spiders and caterpillars from hanging out on and around your cloth diapers. Prevention: Bugs love organic waste. And diapers are often full of organic waste. So how to do we keep the bugs away from our reusable cloth diapers? Here are some tips and tricks for maintaining a bug free cloth diapering routine. Spray or plop all solid waste diapers immediately after removing from baby. If you are not able to spray diapers immediately, consider utilizing disposable bamboo liners as they can be easily tossed in a trash can during diaper changes. Do not store solid waste diapers in the open air without first removing the poop. Consider storing all dirty cloth diapers in zippered wet bags or a similar sealed container until you are able to remove the solid waste. After removing the solid waste, allow all cloth diapers to air dry before storing dirty cloth diapers between wash days. If you notice more flies in your home than usual, it's a good idea to wash your cloth diapers as a precautionary step. Washing more often than usual during hot summer days can help prevent flies from laying eggs in your diaper laundry. Ensure that all windows and doors have bug screens to prevent critters from finding their way into your home—especially in the summer time. Additionally, you might consider adding fly or insect traps to your home to further mitigate insect inhabitants. #clothdiapering #bugs #laundry #flies #clothdiaperlaundry #washingclothdiapers #diapering #reusablediapers #makeclothmainstream #normalizeclothdiapers #reusables #sustainableswaps
