SO MAD.

Jun 25, 2008 17:51

We washed Jack's diapers last night and did not have a chance to fold them or put them away. Instead, I threw them on the couch. I came home today and headed to the couch to start stuffing inserts and folding prefolds when I notice that some of them are wet and wow, do they stink! I realize, OMG, one of the cats pissed on Jack's diapers. Fuming ( Read more... )

I need to get some bac-out. I have heard great things about it.

I just hope this comes out because I can't imagine having to trash these diapers and start all over again. Ugh.

Why would you have to lauder them any differently than you normally do?

Because cat urine is so difficult to get out of things since it's so concentrated, ammonia-smelly, and laden with bacteria.

That stinks! Sorry! What is TTO good for?!

It is an antimicrobial essential oil, so it kills nasty stuff which also helps with smell.

Ahhh okay thanks! I have heard so many things about it.

So here's what I did:
one hot wash w/half a cup of baking soda, 1/4 cup of detergent, and a few drops of tea tree oil
one warm wash with nothing
one warm wash w/half a cup of vinegar and a few more drops of tea tree oil

I can't smell a trace of cat pee. Now, there is still a danger that the cats can smell something on there but I am hoping that between the hot washes, the baking soda/vinegar, and the tea tree oil they are pretty damned clean. And I will not be putting diapers out on the couch again!

I wish there was some medical reason for this but I'm pretty sure it was just one of our cats being a little asshole. One in particular has done things like this a few times (but never on hundreds of dollars of cloth diapers!). She may be pissed about the litter box not being clean enough but she needs to talk to Joe about that!

OH god. I feel ya! I've been pissed on by our cat AND Jaden this week. We gave Marzi a haircut and she totally peed in my freekin' LAP. And Jaden peed on me before and after a bath. Several different days.

Glad you were able to get the smell out!!
