Default Re: How often do you wash?

I have a small bucket for poopys and a big bucket for wets, and I wash every third day pretty much, unless I desperately need a particular nappy or have used all my pockets and I have to go out LOL.

In my next house I would like to leave lids off buckets (impossible here) as I have had quite a few hemps discolour from sitting in the nappy bucket and stewing for 3 days.

I have enough nappies to wash every 2-3 days unless I've got a really stinky load and then I'll do it at the end of the day. I have a small nappy bucket which only took about one days worth so I ended up buying a garbage bin which sits in the laundry. I've never had any trouble with smells and I don't put any scented things in my bin.

Sometimes every day, otherwise every 2nd day. Depends if we've been out and about and I'm out of fitteds.

This week I wased last sunday and then thursday.

I think every third day for us.

But everything is taking so long to dry you have to start adding the drying time in as wwell.

We wash when the bucket is full. IF DD's bedding stays dry that's every 2nd day, if she wets it all then daily.

I have considered an extra bucket.

2 in full time cloth + DS in a cloth pull up at night

I had just one bucket when it was just Annabelle, but I got a second one when I was pregnant with Sam. By the time Sam came along Anna was only in cloth overnight, but the second bucket has stayed.

Well.... mostly I wash everyday.... but I *could* wash every 4-5 with the number of nappies we have..... including night nappies.
I have 2 nappy buckets and a *huge* wet bag as well, so no storage problems if I did. And I always rinse nappies straight away...(and I use flushable liners when out).
