Used cloth diapers because there wasn't any other choice. Couldn't afford diaper service or a diaper pail so I kept some water in my washing machine with a little bleach added and soaked the dirty diapers in it (of course I emptied the dirty ones into the toilet first). With 2 little ones in diapers at the same time I washed diapers almost every day and line dried them as well. During freezing weather they were hung on a line in the hallway or over radiators.
