[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 736371, member: 21572"] Do you restrict the use of bleach to laundry only? [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]Absolutely not. When my kids were babies I used to prepare a mild bleach mix solution weekly and wash-down the crib railings, the lids of the diaper pails (the handle part) - and when cleaning the pails themselves, the vinyl changing pads, the rubber sheets I used to protect the mattresses of the cribs (at time I was changing the cribs), the baby potties, and hard plastic toys and things the kids were always using and playing with. [/COLOR] If you use bleach when laundering, how often do you use it? Every wash-load? Once weekly? Once monthly? When needed? [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]Towels, bed linens, and unmentionables get a dash of bleach with every laundering, and when my kids were at the baby stage, diapers were laundered with bleach every washing, though I was always careful to keep it mild. Bleach and detergent residue can lead to diaper rash and irritation. Rubber pants got a bleaching, too, when they started to smell, and diaper pins used to get an occasional bleach treatment also. Do you use bleach for disinfecting? If so, for what (and how)? [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]Sure do.
