Cloth Diapering

Brightening diapers?

What is the best way to brighten the used diapers I just received? Jules has a small stain id like gone.
I live in the Midwest and it's 35 degrees here so I can't really stick them outside. Thanks!!

Re: Brightening diapers?

  • Safest bet is to ignore the stain until either a sunny day or spring whichever comes first. It may come out or at least fade with repeated washes between now and then too.

  • You don't need to put them outside, just put it in front of a window to dry. I've never put my diapers outside ever.

  • Thanks gals. Maybe I'll do a wash with bleach, then sun them.

  • The amount of bleach that is typically safe for diapers is probably not going to do anything for that stain. At least, that's been my experience. You could try sunning it on the dash of your car.

  • Maybe you could spot treat the Jules with lemon juice before sunning it? And then wash it again.
  • Do I put the lemon juice on it while it's wet or dry?

  • That's probably a dumb question but I've never dealt with stains yet.

  • Put the lemon juice on the wet diaper and then put it in the sun until it is dry, then wash again.
  • Thank you!
