First off... hello again! I haven't been on in ages (not that I was exactly a regular before...) I started taking classes and DH deployed and that's seriously cut into my bump time.
I usually wash after the kids are in bed and then hang to dry overnight before I go to bed, but lately I've really been sucking at remembering to hang them up and they end up sitting in the washer (clean, but wet) overnight. At what point do you think they need to be rewashed, or at least rinsed? I didn't remember until about noon today so that's like, 14 hours.
Re: How long sitting clean in the washer?
Does your washer have a delay start setting? I use mine a lot. I'll do the pre-rinse and spin after supper (about 30 minutes), and then before we all go up for bed, I put in the detergent and set the washer to start two hours before DH gets up. This way it's not drawing hot water while he's in the shower, and I have some cushion time to get the diapers hung up the next day before they get smelly.
I wish I did. That would be awesome b/c I also find myself wanting to run the dishwasher at the same time as diapers. I guess the solution is to not forget! I need to set a reminder on my phone or something.
TTC since September 2009.
