All About Cloth
We know that the health of your child, the wellbeing of the environment, and economic benefits are of a great value to all parents and caregivers. Cloth offers exactly that.
1. The Health of Your Precious Package
We have chosen to use 100% unbleached cotton diapers that are the softest and least harmful to place on a baby’s delicate skin. Unlike disposable diapers that contain harsh chemicals such as dioxin; which is used in the bleaching process and is the leading cause of allergies to disposable diapers.
Before disposable diapers were invented it was estimated that only 7% of babies suffered from diaper rash in comparison to jumping to 78% after disposable diapers became the preferred way to diaper your child.
2. Advantages to the Environment
‘GOING GREEN’ is all over the headlines and it takes each individual to do their part to protect our environment for future generations.
Fact 1: 2 ½ years worth of disposable diapers for one child will use up 20 trees and 420 gallons of petroleum.
Fact 2: Every disposable diaper ever used in this country is still in a landfill somewhere and will be for at least another 150 years.
Fact 3: Cloth diapers can be washed and reused as many as 200 times before being retired for use as cleaning rags.
3. Easier on Your Pocketbook
Name brand diapers are approximately 27 cents a piece. Let’s assume your infant requires 12 diaper changes a day. So let’s do the math: $0.27 x 12 x 7 days = $22.68 per week. For a mere $16.00 per week; which is a savings of $6.68 per week, Iowa Diaper Depot, LLC will deliver fresh diapers to your doorstep and take away the mess leaving you to only love and care for your precious package. Just imagine those cold Iowa winter days; not to mention those sultry summer days where you can remain in the comfort of your own home while your neighbor is bundling up the kids to face the elements because they did not choose Iowa Diaper Depot, LLC and are out of diapers.
4. Potty Train Earlier
As all parents know we are ultimately our child’s first and most important teacher. Cloth diapering provides a great way to introduce cause and effect to your child by helping them to discover the difference between feeling wet and being dry. Unfortunately for parents who are wooed away by the convenience of disposable training pants they often fail to recognize the money making genius behind these as disposables contain sodium polyacrylate which is an absorbent gel that never allows an eager toddler to feel the discomfort of being wet thus delaying the desire to use the big kid potty.
5. Support Your Local Economy
In these tough economic times there is no better reason to choose a small local service to keep our community thriving. When choosing a service in your own backyard you are helping to keep costs low and doing your part to reduce the carbon footprint.
