Don't get me wrong, i love the dryer and am thankful for it, but I enjoy hanging clothes/diapers up. It feels productive and somehow relaxes me. Like I said, I'm a dork!<br /> thank you for posting your routine! I love reading what other people do, esp. if it simpler than what I do!Ryan, Corrie, Max, and Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832246645239409049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633314422732889830.post-69304970930240318552009-09-07T15:53:23.682-04:002009-09-07T15:53:23.682-04:00@sleepissweet, you're absolutely right. dryin...@sleepissweet, you're absolutely right. drying in the dryer does put a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on your pockets and covers. Often they should almost be dry by the time they come off the spin cycle in the wash. If you have enough in your stash it definitely pays off to line dry or hang your pockets/covers to dry inside the house.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993680376441458670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633314422732889830.post-63893738790935879312009-09-07T15:38:57.800-04:002009-09-07T15:38:57.800-04:00I've found that the clip-style hangers that so...I've found that the clip-style hangers that sometimes come with baby clothes are great for hanging the covers up to air dry in the laundry room, or on the shower bar. (Since we never actually use the hangers for baby pants--those just go in the drawer!) My covers have been wearing out faster than I would like with machine drying, so I've switched to air drying them inside most of the time. I can clip one cover to each side of the hanger.sleepissweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621778176589720700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633314422732889830.post-77192642094496664092009-09-06T15:01:08.836-04:002009-09-06T15:01:08.836-04:00wow, have I complicated things.

After ordering more diapers in a trial package, I was paranoid that I was going to do something wrong. I switched laundry detergents and hung them out to dry when the weather permitted. I ended up getting a lot of stink and have since switched back to my original detergent and have also eliminated an extra "prewash" I thought I needed with more diapers. Now, it's just an extra rinse at the end with my original detergent and no more stink!<br />(shuttsarah@yahoo.com)Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633314422732889830.post-52106944417009535522009-09-03T15:05:48.767-04:002009-09-03T15:05:48.767-04:00I was really afraid of washing diapers at first to...I was really afraid of washing diapers at first too, especially pockets! I use mostly prefolds though, and wasn't as scared about those. I can't believe your dryer is done in 20 minutes! Mine takes a lot longer, so I'm getting a clothesline!!!hosiewosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376701898433786488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633314422732889830.post-76223954612349523022009-09-03T09:55:40.578-04:002009-09-03T09:55:40.578-04:00Thanks for your post.

Another friend told me she uses Surf free and clear and only striped her diapers once and has used the same diapers for five years! Then, all my other friends tell me to use this other soap, which is fine, but not ava. at Target, so I'd have to order it...<br />Anyways, thanks.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871928149385175716noreply@blogger.com
