Cloth diapers — are they nuts?!
Just in time for Earth Day: An actual cloth diaper service for the Dayton and Cincinnati area — just like in the olden times!
Well, better, actually. Way back when my mom started having babies — in the days before video baby monitors and car seats (!) — disposable diapers had yet to hit the superstores, which hadn’t been invented yet, either. She tells horror stories of soaking smelly diapers in an even smellier pale. In the immortal words of Boris Karloff, and I quote: “Stink. Stank. Stunk.” YUCK!
No wonder she had her girls potty-trained at 12 months.
But it sounds like a new business started by my co-worker Amy Hruschak and her husband PJ has gotten around that problem. No soaking needed at home! Good Natured Baby uses a washing process developed by the National Association of Diaper Services consisting of several hot-water rinses, minimal bleach use, balanced pH levels and monthly bacterial testing.
From the looks of their informative Web site, Good Natured Baby Diaper Service in Liberty Twp. has solved all the problems for you. What they’re offering is a healthier alternative for your baby, and for the earth.
For just $20 a week, you can be absolved of the guilt that most of us feel when we toss yet another soiled Pamper into the garbage. I don’t even want to THINK about how many diapers our family has added to the world’s waste pile!
For those of you who would like to take a step torward a healthier planet, but are unsure of making a commitment, Good Natured Baby even offers a two-week trial period.
So if you’ve wondered about cloth diapers, give the Hruschaks’ site a look-see. It’s a noble undertaking by a nature lovin’ family. I wish them much success on their bottom line!
