Day 5: Alterations to "The Plan"

Yesterday, I read Kim's post from the challenge, who happens to be the organizer of the Flats and Handwashing Challenge from Dirty Diaper Laundry, and added a few new steps and ideas to my handwashing and drying plan. Tips I started using taken from Kim's blog and who gave her the ideas:

"@thegnomesmom tweeted about reusing her baby’s bath water to rinse her diapers!"

- I started using bath water to rinse out the dirty diapers after I soaked them in the bucket. We don't pay for our water, but that's still no reason to waste it!

"Use skirt hangers. Use clothespins on a hanger."

- We don't have skirt hangers, but I started folding the flats in half over empty hangers instead of layering them over the shower curtain rod.

"The Eco Chic says maybe try vinegar in your rinse cycle."

- Ditto. With all the worries I've had about rinsing clean and sanitizing, this one should have been a no brainer. Thanks Kim, for posting all the awesome tips you found! Here's her link to all the tips she found useful: Flats and Handwashing Challenge Day 4
