I vacuum the "beans" every day and have had no leakage through the pad, and no unpleasant smell. |
EdisonMom,
that's exactly what I was planning to do! I am a stay-at-home mom and cloth diaper my baby and thought that the diaper supplies would be even more perfect than towels, etc.
Thanks for sharing your resources.
On that note here's another diaper tip. I am not sure if it has been mentioned before: If you wash your pads (or diapers) and an odor still remains the problem could be your water. Vinegar works well for soft water but if you have hard water in can leave deposits and your best bet is to get a box of water softener like Calgon (
not the same as fabric softener) and voila ... no more stinky diapers/pads.
