I will probably ask my mom to do them if it's not too complicated. I have converted one of my Velcro diapers to snaps and it wasn't too bad, so that part I will do myself. I haven't yet even looked into tutorials for elastic, but she's very good at sewing and projects. I may send them away though. I really don't know yet. I'm not pregnant right now, so I'm not too worried about it yet. I also didn't thknk I would potty train this early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1918164 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 17:17:01 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1918164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: that's great, thanks!</p> <p>@ChelseaRose: I will need to have the elastic replaced, I totally forgot about that. I wonder if my MIL can do it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1918156 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 17:14:06 +0000 jetsa 1918156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: also have you decided who'll repair your diapers yet? I'm looking for someone to replace elastics on mine before #2 comes along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1918155 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 17:13:03 +0000 jetsa 1918155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: I live in the middle of nowhere but my mom lives in St. Louis so I sent them with her and they picked them up at her house and dropped them off 3 days later. I just looked and it was only $25 and some of my diapers that I thought were permenantly stained came back perfect.

Did you have to mail them away or was it someone local to you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1918148 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 17:07:48 +0000 ChelseaRose 1918148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: I don't think they are really stained or anything, but I thjnk I'd rather deal with any major cleaning now and then just a simple wash in the future in addition to replacing elastic. Are you sending yours out to be repaired or converted? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1918076 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 16:19:50 +0000 jetsa 1918076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: look into professional stripping. I just did mine and it made a world of difference. It was $40 for 40 items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1917963 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:24:00 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1917963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do anything special, but ours are stained, so I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with that in preparation for number 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1917954 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:21:49 +0000 lamariniere 1917954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I washed mine as normal and stored them in vacuum bags. They were perfect for LO2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1917932 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:16:59 +0000 autumnlove 1917932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just put them away after I sunned out the stains! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-cloth-diapers-before-putting-them-away-for-future-baby#post-1917923 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:13:55 +0000 ChelseaRose 1917923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in the process of potty training my son (he's almost two). How should I clean our cloth stash before putting it away for a future child? Should I strip with dawn? Use bleach? RLR? Just wash as normal? I looked through several pages of posts in this category and in potty training and didn't find anything. Thanks! </p>
