With more than 18 billion disposable diapers thrown into landfills every year, many parents want to do their part to reduce that number and help the environment. Some choose to use cloth diapers. Although many people think of using cloth diapers as messy and inconvenient, many cloth diapers can be used with a velcro-fastened cover. Using cloth diapers has many advantages. If you do decide on cloth diapers, you will need a a diaper service. A diaper service is a professional laundry service that rents reusable cotton diapers to those who need them, including families with infants, day cares and nurseries. Each diaper service operates a little differently, but has the same premise.

The diaper service will supply you with a special hamper with a heavyweight bag or liner and high-quality air freshener to keep your home smelling clean. The soiled diapers go directly into the hamper; they do not need to be rinsed or soaked. The service picks up the dirty diapers and delivers clean ones. This is usually done on a weekly basis. A customer can also order diaper covers, if needed. Basically, the service rents customers the use of diapers to fit their baby’s needs and size.

The diaper service professionally cleans the diapers with special equipment and formula. Diaper services use public-health standards for cleaning and they eliminate all bacteria by using 13 changes of water and drying at high temperatures. Prices may vary depending on the amount of diapers needed, which can change as your baby gets older and starts potty training. Depending on the number of diapers a baby uses, some customers may save 50-60% by switching to cloth diapers.

Many areas have a local diaper service. You should be able to find one in your local phone book or online. Neighbors, friends, daycares, doctor’s offices and hospitals may have recommendations as well. When you are ready to start diaper service, you will want to research different services and obtain information regarding the amount of diapers to order, cost, use of diaper covers, diaper delivery dates and how to fold the diapers.
