Sun bleaching diapers.

some of DD's diapers (FB) are starting to stain a bit so I'm planning to bleach 'em in the sun this weekend (hopefully the weather cooperates).

i've never done this before so i'm wondering....do i lay them out there dry or after being washed in the washing machine? should i put anything on the stains before laying them out?  how long should i leave them in the sun?

    I'd lay them out there as soon as you get them out of the washer (I wouldn't dry first). I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but it's what I've always done and I've seen recommended.

    Don't put anything on the stains. As far as how long to leave them, as long as it takes to dry/bleach 'em out :)

    I hang my diaps outside on the line, nothing special added to the diaper.  I'm not sure if FB are one-size diapers with the snaps, but if they are, unsnap to the largest size to maximize the surface area that the sun will hit.  Sunning works really well!
