1.19 x 10^57 atoms pack a lot of cleaning power


Bleach. HA!

Hot water. HA! HA!

Dryer? meh.

Check out the awesome atomic power of our own sun!
This is a cloth cotton diaper stained with poop. I washed it in cold water with 7th Generation liquid and some vinegar. This picture is post-wash just after I hung it up.


Then I hung it in the sun. Not even the direct sun. It was pretty overcast, but bright. Below is the result.


It hung out there for about 5 hours. During that five hours, I did other things while the atomic power of the sun did its thing. It's too bad my cell phone can't record smells because a line dried diaper should have its own cologne. Maybe I'll pitch it to J-Lo.

Save your money, save the planet. Line dry some stuff.

  1. Hi Chris- first time reader- first time poster- and soon to be first time dad. My wife and I are already on the cloth diaper bandwagon (as we told you in the parking lot of Dogwood this past friday) and now I realize that the clothesline hanging I have been procrastinating is even more important than I had thought. Thanks for the photographic evidence. I'm sold- and I'll get to work on that clothesline this week.
