Essential Oils For Cloth Diapering

If you are a cloth diapering Mama then you know it can be hard to keep them smelling fresh.  You may have run into what some call, “The Stinkies”!  I have been cloth diapering my baby for 10 months now but I didn’t start incorporating essential oils into the mix until a couple months ago.   I have run into the horrible “Stinkies” and let me tell you using essential oils has made a huge difference and has made it a much more pleasant experience/smell!

How to Use Essential Oils with Cloth Diapers:

Tips from Jaime Walsh from Keely’s Allergy Free Kitchen

In the wash add 3 -4 drops of melalueca (aka tea tree oil), Cleansing Blend or lemon to the rinse to disinfect your diapers.   I also add in a TBSP of vinegar to the rinse water to give some additional cleaning support.

To clean and freshen the diaper pail you can make a spray with any mix or single oil mix 10 drops with some 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water.  I liked to use Cleansing Blend the best but also use melaleuca, lemon, lime, (Immune) Protective Blend, grapefruit  and white fir.  Then put a couple drops of any of the above or one of your favorites on a cotton ball and place in the bottom of the pail to keep it smelling fresh.

What You Need:

1 roll premium paper towels
2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil
3 drops Lavender essential oil
3 drops Melaleuca essential oil
An airtight storage container/empty wipe container/wet bag

Note: Use cloth for reusable wipes.

Directions:

1- Cut paper towel roll in half with a serrated or electric knife. Use half the roll now, and half later.

2- Combine water, Fractionated Coconut Oil, and essential oils in a small bowl.

3- Pour the mixture over the paper towels and then cover with the airtight lid letting the mixture absorb for 10 minutes.

4- Turn the container over and let sit for another 10 minutes.

5- Remove and discard the cardboard middle. Just pull the wipes from the center when you are ready to use. Store in container of your choice.
Tip: For on-the-go wipes, insert 15-20 wipes into travel size wipe container.
