Diaper Pails and Cloth Diapering

In the past it was believed that cloth diapers should be stored in a wet bucket, allowing the urine and feces to soak in water until able to be washed. After more research had been completed, it was found that there was no need to place soiled diapers into water to soak. This gave the ability for germs and diseases to spread. Cloth diaper users are encouraged to ensure all solid waste has been removed from the diaper and then place the diaper(s) in a dry pail until they are able to be washed.
