laundry

So Im not going to lie when i was first considering cloth diapering i was OVER WHELMED by the laundry aspect and the smell.......but I have amazing friends who are walking me through the process.....one of the things that i'm really excited about is this laundry detergent Rockin green......I first herd about it from my friend Sam....she's trying to get the cloth diaper store in DSM to carry it, besides using it on our cloth diapers....I'm excited to use it on Jon's GROSS WORK CLOSE and no matter what different detergent i use when ever he sweets (which is every day:)) his close bring out this weird gross smell!!!!!!! since he owns his own business that is really unprofessional to smell when talking to clients! Sam informed me that at first we are going to have to soak jon's close in the bathtub with hot water and the detergent over night or at least a couple of hours then wash with out detergent a couple of times until there are no more suds......this process is to get all the other build up from other detergents and his gross boy stuff out of there!!!!!

also on the cloth diaper web site i just read an article on this product and why other women choose this product and cloth diapering.....if you are even remotely interested in cloth diapering or like a lot of my friends slowly working into cloth diapering (like my friend sam is) check this article out

I have read numerous articles on how women have a couple kids and then decided to start cloth diapering cuz of the cost and the environment! Since i have been doing more research and talking to more people about this i have ran across some other things that i never thought of, Jon and i don't have trash pick up (we burn our trash....so those diapers really wouldn't burn as well as the rest of our trash). wipes i was going to make my own wipes like my friend Ruth Ann has shared but when i have talked to numerous cloth diaper friends they say you should consider cloth wipes too (i can also make those too) cuz really what are you going to do with the wipe thats disposable usually you put it in the diaper well not if im throwing the diaper in the laundry, also the smell i was really worried about but as i'm finding they have this amazing sacks that are ment to go directing in the laundry with your cloth diapers so you don't have to touch or open the smell :)

Ill stop know but long story short the more i find out how much money we are saving and how not scary it is......JOn and i are getting more excited about our new find!!!!!!

I'll keep you up dated on the detergent and let you know if Jon stops smelling :)
