I do cloth wipes and love them! I put them in a wipes warmer with water and essential oils and just wash them with my diapers so it's actually easier than disposables since we throw them in the diaper wet bag too. They work so much better than disposable wipes and we are saving money and being good to the environment!

@@brittanygreen4101 I use Grovia wipes and after a trying a few different things for the solution I've most recently gotten Balm! Baby Juice Those Wipes concentrate from the Nicki's Diapers website and am really happy with it. I kept switching things up because the wipes started to smell musty; this doesn't seem to be a problem so far. Also, if you decide to buy a wipes warmer check out Facebook Marketplace or any other used sites; I found a ton of great condition ones and was able to purchase two of them for just $5 each.

When a baby is exclusively breastfed the diapers can go right into the washing machine because the poop is water soluble. Once they get solid food or if their formula-fed then you have to spray the poop off in the toilet before doing it in the washing machine. Diaper sprayers are in my opinion a necessary thing for cloth diapering. Although some people just dunk and swish in the toilet.

For drying them I hung dry on a clothes line so bought on amazon and installed it over the bathtub so any excess water would just drip into the tub. For washing I used a washboard. I honestly felt like I was in the 1900’s but, it worked and even now I still do it and we have a washer and dryer in our house.
