Question by skunkaperecords: Best method to clean feces off of toddler underwear?
We are potty training our son. What would you say is the best method of removing his feces off of his toddler underwear (not diapers)? I don’t want to contaminate my washing machine with fecal matter. Any ideas? Pre-wash them in the sink first? Wash them by hand with gloves on?
Thanks!

How Do I Wash Cloth Diapers?
——————————————————————————–
Dear Catherine;
I know I want to use cloth diapers on my baby, who will be born very soon. How do I find a diaper service,? Are the diaper services more expensive than disposable diapers? If I can’t find one in my city, how hard will it be to wash my own?
In the 1950’s, diaper services flourished. Now, because of “disposable” single-use diapers, the larger cities and their suburbs are often the only areas with diaper services. Check your Yellow Pages book under Diaper or Diaper Services. Diaper Services are much more expensive than home laundering, but usually less expensive than “disposable” single-use diapers. Many parents find the added convenience of clean, fresh diapers arriving on their door-step each week worth the extra cost. For the early weeks, and for parents without washing machines – this is often an ideal solution.
Washing diapers at home is actually quite simple. This is a very detailed description. Initially it may sound complex, but you’ll soon find it routine.
1. Shake “poop” into toilet. Rinse “poopy” diapers in toilet bowl. You can use a Diaper Duck or rubber gloves will help keep your hands clean.
2. Collect soiled or wet diapers in a plastic pail with no liquid added, or (only if you prefer) in a solution of water mixed with 1/4 cup of vinegar, Borateem®, Borax or Ivory Snow® Liquid. This can help control odours and staining. Do not soak your diaper covers in this though, as it can ruin their waterproofness.
3. When ready to wash, if you’ve been soaking your diapers – drain excess solution into toilet. Use your spin cycle to drain the diapers of any remaining solution. Otherwise, or in addition, run your diapers through a cold wash /cold rinse presoak cycle – if you have this setting on your washing machine. For optimum cleanliness, wash only 24 diapers in an average load.
4. Then, use HOT wash and COLD rinse with high water level. If rashes are a problem, try a double rinse to remove detergent or soap residues. Use a mild soap or detergent with no phosphates, and a minimum of additives.
5. Dry in dryer on high heat for an average of 60 minutes to help sterilization. Drying in direct sunlight is also an excellent method, and it helps wonderfully with getting rid of stains.
6. Some parents like to add washing soda, vinegar or borax to the wash to keep diapers white, and to help sterilize them. Some parents prefer to boil diapers for 10 minutes once in a while, especially after a bout of diarrhea, or a yeast infection, to help prevent rash and provide optimum sterilization. But this is absolutely NOT necessary on a regular basis or for all babies.

Well this might sound terrible of me to say but if it’s terribly bad then I would just throw the underwear away. For my son I would use pull ups until he was completely confident with those, then switch to the underwear. And ask often if he needs to poo and give treats and rewards when he goes in the potty (i’m sure you know that already…just sayin).
Otherwise I would just get as much of it off as possible and wash them alone in hot water with a little bleach or vinegar.

I would NOT pre-wash them in the sink, because that is where you occasionally drop your toothbrush and even if you meticulously clean that sink, it would still make me queasy. I would, however, do some pre-washing in the toilet or in a dishpan designated for that purpose. Write a big U (for underwear) or P (for poop) in the bottom with a sharpie, so you can see it as you start to use it, and store it in the bathroom so it never gets used for anything else. Flush any bits that come loose before you start, and then just dunk and scrub, dunk and scrub until the pants are satisfactory, flush that water, and rinse the pants in another basin of water. Then if your son can tolerate using bleach in his clothing, toss his pants in a lidded bucket with a weak bleach water solution under the sink just for that purpose until you launder them.
