Hung them on the line to bleach in the sun during summer. Only used dryer in coldest part of Wisconsin winters. Loved cloth diapers.

I still remember how bad that diaper pail smelled!

Diaper pail odour? Yes! Pee-ew! I remember it well! Like a pressure-cooker with ammonia inside, lifting the lid often resulted in the burning of the lining of ones nose.

Remember how the bum and legs of the rubber pants would stain pink after a round of diarrhea?
Rubber pants came 4 and 6 pairs to a pack, and I always bought white, and I'd be so happy my kids had nice soft, brand new, clean rubber pants, but it always seemed Murphy's Law would happen, where someone would come down with a bought of diarrhea, and there the brand new rubber pants would be, hanging on the line, sometimes just days old, with pink-stained seats and leg openings!
