How to effectively clean diapers affected by insectsUpdated 8 months ago
- Begin by rinsing the maggots from the soiled cloth diapers with cold water. This can be done indoors, into the toilet with your diaper sprayer or outdoors with a garden hose.
- After rinsing off the maggots, do an initial rinse of the soiled cloth diapers in your washing machine. You can add a small amount of bleach to the rinse cycled if it makes you feel more comfortable. It is important to follow the manufacturer instructions on the packaging for the bleach product that you purchase to ensure that you do not add too much.
- Wash and dry the affected cloth diapers as you normally would utilizing both your normal pre-wash and main-wash cycles.
