Diaper washing question. WWYD?

sharrow · October 2010

I hate to waste water/energy, but I have three days worth of diapers that need to be washed.

However, in three days DS has only used 5 diapers, and they are only pee-diapers. (we are potty-training and use sposies at night)

Would you :

a) Throw them in with his clothes and use the heavy wash-extra rinse cycle.

b) Wash them separately as a diaper wash.

c) Wait another day to wash them.

Kind of a silly question I know. I am inclined to just throw them in with his clothes, but wondered what you gals might do.

Lurking...I have done all three. The clothes come out smelling like pee unless I do a hot wash/extra rinse. When we first started transitioning to cloth it would sometimes be a week before I had enough to wash, just threw them in the laundry room in the garage so they didn't stink up the house.
