💡Cloth Diapers

Cloth diapers are reusable diapers made from absorbent materials such as cotton, hemp, or bamboo. They are an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to disposable diapers. In the video, cloth diapers are the central topic, with the focus on proper storage and washing techniques to maintain their absorbency and longevity.

💡Absorbency

Absorbency refers to the ability of a material to take in and hold liquids. In the context of the video, maintaining the absorbency of cloth diapers is crucial to prevent leaks and ensure they function effectively. The script mentions that improper washing can decrease absorbency over time.

💡Wash Routine

A wash routine is a set of steps followed to clean items, such as cloth diapers, effectively. The video emphasizes the importance of a correct wash routine to prevent issues like reduced absorbency and to prolong the life of the diapers.

💡Mold Growth

Mold growth is the development of fungi on organic matter, which can cause unpleasant odors and potential health hazards. The script warns against storing damp cloth diapers in closed spaces to prevent mold growth and the associated bad smells.

💡Pre-wash

Pre-wash is an initial washing cycle used to remove heavy soiling or stains before the main wash. In the script, pre-washing cloth diapers is recommended to ensure thorough cleaning, especially when dealing with urine or fecal matter.

💡Detergent

Detergent is a cleaning agent used to remove dirt and stains. The video script specifies using half the recommended amount of detergent for pre-washing and the full amount for the main wash to effectively clean cloth diapers.

💡Temperature Settings

Temperature settings on a washing machine determine the heat of the water used for cleaning. The script advises against washing diapers in cold water and instead recommends warm or hot water to ensure proper cleaning and sanitization.

💡Fiber Damage

Fiber damage refers to the weakening or breakdown of the material's fibers, which can reduce the effectiveness of cloth diapers. The video warns against actions like squeezing or brushing the diapers, which can harm the fibers and decrease absorbency.

💡Fabric Softener

Fabric softener is a product that makes clothes feel softer and less static. However, the script advises against using fabric softeners on cloth diapers because the chemicals can affect the diapers' absorbency and may leave residues.

💡Water Softener

A water softener is used to reduce the hardness of water by removing minerals that can cause scale buildup. The video mentions the use of a water softener or washing soda if the water's Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) value is high, to prevent mineral buildup on diapers.

💡TDS Value

TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids, which measures the concentration of dissolved substances in water. The script discusses checking the TDS value to determine if water softening is necessary when washing cloth diapers, as high TDS can affect their performance.

Transcripts

Hello welcome to Handful Manual this is part five of cloth diapering video series where

today I am going to tell you in detail

what is the right way to store and wash cloth diapers, sometimes we purchase Glow diapers but due to not following the correct wash routine

and due to some mistakes, its absorbency decreases with time, it starts

leaking very quickly, that's why in today's video I will tell you in detail How to store

, how to wash and what are the items that you have to avoid while washing, along with this

I will request you to watch my previous video series which parts I have made before

, you will get an idea close About diapers and some mistakes that I have told you

that you have to avoid while clotting your baby, then definitely check out that video, so let's

start today's video and know that they are the best way to store diapers. And the proper routine of washing

would be the first thing to talk about. If you want to store whatever diapers you have, then whatever diapers

are there, whatever flats preflat, you always have to store them in an open AD basket, in

a basket like this or you have an open area there. There are two

reasons for this, the first is that it is a diaper or a sock, there should be no mode growth in it, that is, the

growth of black black dot type, the problem of sense and smell of mole bacteria does not remain when it remains

. Whatever smell of urine comes out of the basket, if you

keep it in a closed space, such as a bathroom or if you have given some other close, then there will be a problem of this linking, that is

, the smell will also come in that area. And there is also a very high chance of mole growth, but remember that

the diaper in which the child has done potty is a toilet, with the help of that

you clean it and make a little lens, you can store it in the basket here. You have to keep in mind one very important

thing that you do not have to brush it because the fibers that are made by brushing it They can be damaged and the observability

of your diaper can be reduced. Secondly, you should not squeeze whatever is sleeping by holding

it because again they say that due to applying force, the fibers which are

there can be damaged and the observation of the diaper It may be less, so my storage routine is that

whenever I give a diaper, I do it with a little water so that the life of the fiber can

be increased, if you keep it like this, then the reason for ammonia Due to this, his fibers will also become very weak and his life

will be reduced a bit, while the night diapers are also used in the morning,

if the child has pooped with water, then I clean them with the help of toilet. I range

and do it in an open area, then to store it, I open it a little on top of the washing machine and

dry it by spreading it so that there is no smell and it remains a little airy so that there is no mole growth

. If we do the wash routine, the first important thing you have to keep in mind is that you should

never wash diapers with cold water. You always need warm water or hot water to wash

the diapers, its simple reason is that the diaper you are doing for 3 to 4 hours or overnight, how

much urine is filled in it and if the potted diaper If there are fishes then it will

not be cleaned properly with cold water only, so always hot or bomb water should be used for washing, then steps have

to be followed in pre wash and pre wash, whatever soil diapers you have in pre wash Whether it is a diaper

bed or a lot of diapers, you have to clean them a little first, then the procedure is that whatever

detergent you are using, whatever is the recommended quantity, according to the company, which is usually written on

how much you need to return. How much detergent he has to do, you have to do half the quantity of it, so

suppose if the company raycommend for his 5K load, you need four table spoons of detergent, for pre

wash you have to do two table spoons of detergent, this is the importance of pre watch. Whatever diapers are there ,

whatever the trace of urine or potty is. It becomes completely clean, after that

you actually have to watch the diapers so that they become properally clean,

then after pre-washing, you can store the diapers dry in an open area if you have one.

There is not that much load of laundry but in pre wash I would suggest that you do it daily or at least for 2 days

Do it at least once so that your diapers can maintain their absorbency for a long time and whatever life they

have, after that you have to wash them with warm or hot water

, but keep one thing in mind. Keep in mind that if you put the covers together, that is, the cell which is used for diapers

, I am going to wash that too in the washing machine, then its temperature

should not be more than 60 degrees, because if you do it higher than that, then it will There is a cell, there is a

chance of getting damaged, there is a possibility of elastic damage, along with that, the midwife has been done to it, it may

leave the color in the morning, which is washed, you can give it around 40 degrees. Along with this, you

can also put the rest of the clothes in the watch, because once the baby's diapers have

already been cleaned, then here you have to keep in mind that there should be enough lots in the laundry, that is, you will have enough clothes

with diapers. Put because if there is very less load, that means the clothes will be very less,

according to the space available in the washing machine, that much fresh. There will be no friction, that is, if you

wash by rubbing in this way by hand, then when there are very few clothes in the washing machine, then the clothes will

not do rubbing action in this way, then it is diapers, it may not be cleaned very well. Yes, and at the same time, you should not keep too much load

, that is, it should not happen that if you fill the clothes completely solid in the machine, then because

there will be no movement space for the clothes, there will be no wrapping action between them and that can be done well. If you don't want to be clean

, now let's talk about what are the options you have for pre wash and main wash, if you want you can do both

with less hand or pre wash by hand and hand wash by machine or both If you are washing clothes only

by hand, then you have to take hot water around 30° or 40°,

put half the amount of detergent in a bucket as recommended by the company and as many soil

diapers as you have. You have to put a lamp in it and leave it for 10-15 minutes, after that you have to rub it a little with your hands

and do pounding action with your hands, that is Picking it up in this way and pounding it properly in the bucket

i.e. in this way you have to pound it from top to bottom by applying good force like it comes by hand,

then it is done, leave your pre watch for a while. After keeping them and after

doing ponting action in this way you have to throw away all the water, you have to clean them in clean water

two to three times then it comes again in your watch.

What the company has recommended on the packet of the product, you have to do that, take hot or warm water,

whatever the diapers, whatever the flats, all of them have to be deep for 10 to 15 minutes, after that rubbing by hand

in the same way Two to three times or until all the detergent is

removed, if you have to wash, then this is the wash routine, if you are doing both with less hands, if you do pre-wash

only by hand. and ingots if you do pre watch in washing machine then you have to do the same

as I explained before what you can do for watch whatever Diapers and whatever is the

rest of your laundry load, which are daily clothes, after putting them all together in the machine,

select 40 degree temperature and around cycle any cycle, now select that and

wash diapers and other clothes together. Can and if you want to do both less i.e. pre watch and me watch in washing machine,

then you can first put the soil diapers flats in the washing machine and after adding half quantity

detergent, wash it for about 30 minutes. You can select a cycle in which the temperature is 30

to 40 ° centigrade, when the diapers are washed, whatever the pre wash cycle is, then you add the rest of the load to the full

quantity of detergent and you wash it van van and half an hour in a cycle of 40 degree centigrade. If you can wash on temperature

, then your complete wash is done. Apart from this, what I want to

suggest to you is that you should not use any kind of fabric softener because it contains chemicals

or ingredients. If it is in your focus, it may be that if it remains the same, then the observation is in your focus.

Along with this, you do not have to use any kind of antiseptic liquid, it is also

from the region itself and if the hardness of your water is very high, that is, if the TDS value

is more than 200, then it is suggested. Keep in mind here that fabrics are different, water softeners are different

, fabric softeners are liquids that you use to make clothes soft and water softeners

It happens that it is less able to soften the water, that is, it is less able to reduce its TDS value, then you

check the TDS value of your place, if it is more than 200, then it is suggested that if you soften the water

, then its For this you can also use washing soda and I have TDS value around 400

to 500 but I am not doing any type of water supply at the moment because I

believe that if I keep diapers at 40° or 60 degree centigrade If I am doing water wash, then whatever source is

minerals, they can be automatically washed out at high temperature, but if your diapers

are not performing as well, you have high TDS value here, then I would suggest that you supply water to it.

I will also give its link in the description box, it comes in the form of a powder and the rest of

the ready- made options remain like water, but the doubt that came in my man was such a clot type

ring mom, which I also share with you guys. I want to say that the need for pre wash and main wash

will reduce over time and at the same time you will see There may be stick from that means if you

start coming in it too then pre first is very important for proper cleaning I had a doubt that it is necessary to do pre

wash and main wash together what does it mean if we have done pre wash So

it is necessary to give watch immediately, is it not necessary if you have very less diaper load, then

after giving free watch, you can dry and store the diapers, I can wait till the watch as long as you have proper

laundry . The load does not go, it is suggested to do the reverse as soon as possible because there is a

lot of urine or PCS in it, then it gets washed out, then

after giving the pre-watch, you can store it by weighing till the watch. Can give but free and collect as soon as

you give, then my doubt was that we can put normal clothes with our diapers or else we ca

n't put them in pre wash because in this only oil diapers have to be washed

once. You can do your regular laundry load if I talk about my routine that I do

my baby's daily routine. How do I wash the purse, I first

rinse it once with water, whatever is diaper or flat, the rest of the ammonia is washed out and if there are a lot of diapers,

then I clean it with the help of toilet. After washing the water, I store

it in an open space on top of my washing machine. Next is every load of diapers in the morning, I give them

a pre-wash once in the washing machine at 40°C for 30 minutes and Phir main watch

deti hoon baki pura laundry add karne full quantity detergent use karne

aap van and half hour ki cycle pe aaj ki video bas itna hi mujhe full hope that this information

will help you a lot to clone diapers of your child. Properly store and wash and increase their life

, so how did you like today's video, I will definitely tell you by writing in the comment box, if you have any doubt, then
