We are in need of a new washer and dryer, the plan is to get them in August. We need to get the front-loading washing machines because when we finish the small house, the washer/dryer needs to be stacked to save room.

However HE front loading washers are like this entirely different world, new rules for washing, especially when it comes to cloth diapers.

From how it may mess with the PUL of the fabric (how it lays/bunches up) and then there’s having to use extra rinse cycles or sanitary cycles to help prevent cloth diaper stink. There are some measurements to help prevent it, but seems to me that the extra “cycles” on the wash just waste the benefits of having an HE washer to begin with!

Is it sad that part of me wishes I could set the old top loading washer outside (which is noisy and vibrates like an earthquake) and just use it exclusively for diaper washing? I think Ray would kill me for that one.
