As parents, we have the heavy responsibility of ensuring our children have access to a more sustainable world. It can feel overwhelming when you’re holding your baby while seeing headline after alarming headline. While there are always ways to become more environmentally conscious, making the switch to either biodegradable or cloth diapers will have one of the biggest impacts. The only issue is that these options aren’t exactly convenient. Having a baby already means tons of laundry, and cloth diapers increase that exponentially. Both options require quite a bit of research, foresight, and trial and error. Luckily, there are businesses that understand all these stresses and take care of the dirty work for you, making eco-friendly diapers just as convenient as the alternative option. If you want to become more sustainable without the stress, let me tell you about a baby diaper service in Seattle that makes it simple.
Since 1946, Baby Diaper Service has been dedicated to helping families keep their little ones clean! The service originally focused solely on cloth diapers. They would take the dirty diapers and clean them before returning clean diapers to the family. In recent years, the business has figured out how to provide you with an environmentally responsible option that’s just as convenient. Starting in July 2022, the business switched to a disposable option with a low carbon footprint.
Baby Diaper Service has partnered with The Nest to provide you with plant-based disposable diapers that will break down and produce energy rather than take up space in a landfill. The diapers are made without any harsh chemicals or allergens. Unlike traditional disposable diapers, The Nest’s diapers are absorbent and soft, preventing the regular diaper rash you might find from competitors.
Baby Diaper Service works with the Seattle area, the Eastside as far east as North Bend, North to Everett, and South to Tacoma. The company makes diapering your baby simple. At the very beginning, they’ll drop off a diaper pail where you’ll stash the dirty diapers. The pail has a lid and is pretty efficient at preventing any odors from escaping. You’re able to begin your diaper services before your baby is born, so you’re ready once they arrive. Every week, you’ll set out your dirty diapers. They’ll pick them up, exchange them with clean diapers, and take your trash to get recycled. The services are easy to customize. You can easily change the size and the quantity as your baby gets older.
If you forget to set out the pail on diaper day, don’t stress. You’re able to set out two weeks’ worth of diapers the next week, and they’ll take care of it, no questions asked. If you’re going out of town, you can request more diapers for the week so you can stay sustainable no matter where you go. If you’re outside of the service area, you can always have the diapers sent to a different address or pick up and drop off the diapers yourself at their offices. On top of selling biodegradable diapers, the service’s store sells green wipes, shampoo, and cloth swim diapers.
Diaper Stork was founded by moms who wanted to help parents make eco-friendly decisions. Their goal is to make diapering sustainable without you having to worry about spending time away from your family to achieve this. The business services the Seattle area from Olympia to Everett to Eastside. They understand that a lot of their customers live in apartments without a convenient front step. They’ll work with you to figure out how to get access to your apartment so you can make swapping diapers as painless as possible.
Diaper Stork is committed to giving you multiple options when it comes to sustainability. Like Baby Diaper Service, they provide plant-based diapers that they’ll deliver to a recycling plant. If you’d prefer to stick to cloth diapers, they make it super simple! They’ll drop off a diaper pail with disposable diapers 1-2 weeks before your due date (or, if your baby is already here, 1-2 weeks after you place your first order). The pail comes with an odor-blocking lid as well as a reusable bag. You’ll put the dirty diapers in there without having to worry about rinsing or dumping any waste.
The diapers are washed in scalding hot water with commercial detergent. The center uses small amounts of chlorine to sanitize the diapers. The machines are periodically tested to ensure the cleaning process is calibrated to keep your child’s skin safe. The business’s standard diaper service covers pre-folded liners, but you’re also able to add on a cover service.
The center is passionate about making cloth diapering available to everyone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can sign up for their cloth diapering class. You’ll have access to a video series that walks you through everything you need to know. The center has additional classes that cover potty training for different ages.
Diaper Stork has an online store that sells all the other basics you need for keeping your baby clean. You can purchase flushable diaper liners, eco-friendly baby wipes, skincare, tooth care, and even products that let you wash cloth diapers at home. Their used diaper products provide you with a sustainable, budget-friendly option for getting into cloth diapering. You can also get products that will help you out with breastfeeding.
Cloth diapering doesn’t have to leave you feeling overwhelmed! With a Seattle baby diaper service, you can have a sustainable option without having to dedicate your life to camping out in front of the washer.
