CD washing experience

i've finally washed all my CDs. not a fun experience, but not too bad either.

since i didn't have a wetbag, so in the bathroom after spraying off the poop i popped them into a pail of water to soak until wash day. i added a sprinkle of sodium bicarbonate for good measure (although i got no idea whether it did them diapers justice). Significant Other pulak paranoid pasal smell so he sprayed the whole toilet with perfume. haiz. pengsan.

so on wash day i emptied the water out and stuffed the soiled CDs and inserts into the washing machine. i put in my daughter's towel as well to add to the load (3 CDs, inserts and a diaper cover seemed seemed like a too-small load). i used a little bit of Pureen H.A.D. and had it go through one full spin. i realized after turning the machine on that i forgot to take out the inserts from the pockets. oh well. the very ganas washing machine managed to do that for me. when i opened the washing machine to inspect the CDs, some were already stain free, some still had light stains on it. and thanks to my lovely blue colored MPB fitted (which i had prewashed prior to usage) it managed to tinge the whole load with a slightly blue hue. with the feeling of tak puas hati, i ran all the diapers again through a second spin cycle, this time without any detergent. the outcome was my fitted MPB and GAD pocket was stain-free, but my BG 3.0 and its insert still had stains visible. and the GAD m/f insert was still looking a bit blue-ey. huwargh.

i took the BG 3.0, the BG insert and the GAD insert and soaked them again with very little Pureen detergent and did more than sprinkle a whallop of bicarb onto the stains. then i left them to soak overnight while i hung the rest out to dry under the fan. the next day i tonyoh the stains abit and soaked them again. finally the stains managed to disappear. it was hardest for the BG insert though. i think i had it endure more soakings and bicarb before it became stain-free again. haiz.

i'll be enduring my second round of CD-washing this weekend. wish me luck. lol.
