To feel disgusted he washed it in the kitchen sink

[OneLittleFinger]

Dp rarely does the washing, therefore I wasn't expecting him to wash the clothes I'd left by the machine this morning. Among them were my toddler's dirty pants in a box to remind me to add them to the wash.

I returned home to find not only had he thrown the pants into the wash unrinsed (so with solid poo stuck to them) he'd cleaned the box they were in in the kitchen sink, and used the kitchen sponge to do so.

He's pissed I'm not happy, as the box was sitting in hot, soapy water first, so can't see the problem.

Washing dirty cloth nappies in 4 simple steps:
Step 1: Remove solids. DROP poo in the LOO and store the used cloth nappy in a dry pail.
Step 2: Pre-wash cycle. Run a pre-wash cycle 40-60 degrees with detergent every 1-2 days. ...
Step 3: Main-wash cycle. ...
Step 4: Hang to dry.

Nothing about sticking the nappie in the toilet 🤷

I think that the poo pants box is really gross. Every bit as bad as a poo sponge. Seriously, bin the dirty pants. If there are a lot of dirty pants, put potty training on hold.

How did you drop the korma poo style poo in to the loo? We had to spray it off, or scrape if we were staying somewhere without a sprayer.

Sometimes pants are unsalvageable, but not usually, especially if the contents could be mainly shaken out.

If the contents could be easily shaken out then presumably it wouldn't be languishing, soiled in a box. If it's just the occasional accident then there wouldn't be a box in the first place. Sounds like this child isn't ready for toilet training. Toddler pants are just a tiny scrap of material and it's not the end of the world to bin the occasional accident if it doesn't just shake off. Also due to size you can't compare to holding cloth nappies against a flush. Surely with small pants it would end up all over your hands with the method described?!

Bin the sponge and squirt some bleach in the sink. Problem solved, surely?

Personally I used to bin the really bad ones
I certainly wouldn't have left them in the kitchen
Obviously DP should've binned the sponge and disinfected the sink

Your hands stay dry in the loo flushing method.

Does anyone remember the sluice sink in hospitals? The soiled item was held on a slanted rack and a hose used to sluice off anything unpleasant. It’s standard old fashioned practice. The loo rinse is the equivalent, using the force of the flush to remove muck while your hands stay clean and dry.

I'm just very disappointed that this is about a toddlers poo. And not the Penis beaker tale type post I was hoping for.

As long as the sink was throughly cleaned and the sponge chucked away afterwards I see nothing wrong in using the kitchen sink. It’s the leaving the poo on the pants that I have an issue with.

I used cloth nappies with nappy liners for my kids, the solids were captured in the liner which was flushed away. I don’t think they were environmentally friendly so probably not a good idea these days.
The nappies were steeped in a lidded bucket with a detergent (Nappisan) until enough for a wash load, bucket emptied out, nappies given a quick rinse, then boil washed on their own, lined dried, shook like fuck to soften them and folded.

I used to empty poo from toddlers pants into the toilet, remove any residue by using scrunched up toilet roll and then steeped the pants in water and detergent in a small bucket until I was able to do a wash.

Me too. Absolute click bait from the OP.

I wouldn't rinse in the loo or store with poo on. We have a covered bucket that anything like that goes in with napisan, until the washing machine goes on.

I def would throw the sponge away. Not sure how I feel about washing the box in kitchen sink. It's not great but if sink was bleached afterwards I could get over it. I'm not sure where the alternative to wash the box is, hence our bucket solution

A loo is not meant for washing clothes or is my half a brain getting that wrong 😐 joking yes I agree wash the shit how you want as long as its washed no harm no foul 🤐

I'd actually murder someone for less than this. 🤣

I'm with you on this 100%,the kitchen sink is used for food prep and washing pots. No shit should be going anywhere near that. It is basic hygiene. My partner does crap like this all the time and it really gets on my tits. He has been cleaning carpets and tipped the filthy water down the kitchen sink blocking it. You go outside to the outdoor grid mate! I know I shouldn't moan as he's actually being helpful but he is a fecking tyrant to live with, has OCD about loads of things but then when it comes to hygiene just does whatever he fecking well likes. 💩

OMG😱

Me too. I never washed poopy pants. Kids pants are extremely cheap!
