SimplyImagine SprayStand - Cloth Diaper Sprayer Splatter Shield - Contains Spray and Debris When Rinsing Cloth Diapers, Clothing, Shoes, and More in Toilet Spray Bucket Pail

First time parent here and I must say this is a real poop pal! I have been using cloth diapers for my baby and I love using them but to clean was a big hassle, I would rinse the dirty ones in my bathtub and then have to clean the tub, super annoying and hard on my back. No more though! Now with this handy dandy thing I put the stand over my toilet, clip the dirty diaper in and bye bye stinky! It's also wonderful as then you can simply let the diaper drip dry either over the toilet or on the drip pan if you need to. So glad I found this in my baby's early months and don't have to be inconvenienced any longer! Absolutely recommend if you are using cloth nappies for your little one!

If you're going to use washable diapers, this is a MUST HAVE, along with a good sprayer and disposable, reusable gloves. I know it looks like an expensive piece of plastic, but you won't be able to DIY something like this with a bucket, etc. This SimplyImagine SprayStand prevents splashes from getting on your clothes or face as much is possible. Of course, you're going to get splashed while spraying diapers no matter what, but this helps a lot. It's made thick and is sturdy. The rubber feet on the tray won't slide around on the back of the toilet and you can leave a hosed down diaper in the stand over the tray for as long as you like to drip dry. The diapers and absorbent pad won't dry out completely, but every bit of drying helps keep the diaper bin from getting too heavy. The 4 included clips are plastic so they won't rust, but they may break, eventually. They are strong enough that two clips will hold a diaper in place even if you reach in and pull down on it to stretch the elastic bands on the diaper for better rinsing. The other clips can hold a rinsed absorbent pad or a set of gloves. A note about the environment: I use cloth diapers to save money and keep thousands of diapers out of the landfill. It is debatable if cloth diapers are truly "better for the environment", because they do use more water to manufacture and wash. Tips for best use: Get a sprayer wand with an adjustable spray. I bought the LUFEIDRA Handheld Toilet Bidet Sprayer on Amazon. It works great and installed in about 30 minutes. The adjustable spray is strong enough to blast away thick poop, but can also be used as a gentle rinse. If the sprayer you get only has one power level and it's too strong, this shield won't stop all those splashes from getting on you. Also make sure the sprayer has an off valve so you can turn off the water to it when not in use. You don't want a hose sprayer leaking when you're not home and flooding the bathroom. Push the SprayStand as close to the front of the toilet bowl as possible to prevent splashes from the toilet landing on your feet. Lift the seat to keep splashes from getting on it and set the shield on the bowl rim. Wear gloves, like nitrile or pvc or latex. I reuse thicker nitrile gloves (nitrile gloves are expensive) by rinsing them with the sprayer when I'm done, then washing them on my hands with soap. I take them off and use one set of the clips to hold them on the outside of the SprayStand to dry. You'll want to use gloves because baby poo will stick in the elastic bands of the diaper, where the material bunches up. You should spray that poo out of the elastic before you wash the diapers, and the only way I know to do that is to use one of my gloved hands to gently pull down on the diaper when it's clipped to the inside of the stand to stretch out the elastic band and spray it. Pull out the absorbent pad insert from the diaper before you spray. You can either skip spraying the absorbent pad, or spray it and wring it out with your gloved hands. I don't recommend spraying the absorbent pads and then letting them drip dry before you throw them in a diaper bin because the bin will get too heavy with a bunch of soaking wet diaper pads in it. The absorbent pads are designed to absorb water, so wringing them out keeps the bin weight down. Put the dirtiest part of the diaper downwards and keep the sprayer close to the diaper when you're near the top to prevent splashes. The lower part of the diaper can be hosed downward from farther away. Spray downward as much as possible, except on the elastic band towards the bottom (the back of the diaper). That band creates a cup shape which will splash water right back at your face. Spray that from the side with low pressure, or hold the elastic band up with your free hand to reduce splashes. Leave the diaper and insert inside the shield for as long as you like to drip dry. Put the shield on the back of the toilet in the tray, then when you have a new diaper to rinse, open the clips and let the wet diaper and pad just slide into the tray. When you're done rinsing the new dirty diaper, take the older wet one out of the tray and to the diaper bin. Rinse the inside of the shield when you're done spraying the diaper. Use a hot soapy sponge or rag to wash it out when poo bits build up. Rinse it with the sprayer. Turn off the water to the spray wand when you're done. For washing dirty diapers: You don't need 2 or three wash cycles to clean dirty diapers! Just one cycle with a pre-wash and an extra rinse. Some HE washers have a water plus (extra water) option which can work instead of a second rinse. In the pre-wash cycle only add 1/2 cup of white vinegar and no soap. Pour the vinegar into the empty wash tub before you start or in the soap dispenser for the pre-wash. This will neutralize the ammonia in the older diapers before the soap from the regular wash is mixed in. Laundry detergent does not remove ammonia well since they are both alkaline. Then use 1/4 cup borax and whatever detergent you like in the wash cycle. Wash in HOT water, heavy soil and high spin. If your water takes forever to heat up, turn a nearby faucet on full hot until the cold water is flushed from your pipes before you start the cycle. This will help get the hottest water possible for the pre-wash. Check the diapers for stains after the wash and rewash or treat, etc, if you like. Of course, they are diapers... so some stains shouldn't matter.

I bought a similar product made by a different brand and was so frustrated as it fell off the toilet and required me to hold it with one hand. This thing does exactly what it’s supposed to do! It’s large enough to sit over the toilet completely without having to be supported, it’s sturdy so you can’t knock it over easily, and it contains the water from the sprayer to one area. This is definitely the way to go for cloth diaper spraying. Hands free, strong clips to hold the diapers in place, and a little tray to sit in on when not in use, so you’re not getting poop all over your bathroom floor. Great design.

Makes spraying diapers easy. The clips are strong and the plastic is easy to clean. The drop tray is perfect to allowing for storing under the bathroom cabinet right after use. I highly recommend this!

I LOVE this thing!!!! I am using cloth nappies with my second baby and wow do I wish I had had this and my nappy sprayer the first time around. With my first, I had to dunk the (poopy) nappy in the toilet, flush, and scrub with a scrub brush. I really hated that method, though it does work well. And, while I keep my toilets very clean, it just grossed me out to put a nappy *in* the toilet bowl. With this, cleaning poopy nappies literally couldn't be easier. Clip, spray, quick scrub and done. It sits perfectly on the toilet bowl. I find I need to pull it all the way to the front of the bowl or sometimes I get a bit of splatter out of the bottom on the front. The clips work great and have really good grip. And, because it makes spraying so easy I now also give wet (pee) nappies a spray before I put them in the bucket too. Which, while not absolutely necessary, it just means everything gets that much cleaner in my wash cycles. I also love that it comes with a drip-tray, so I can spray it out and take it off of the toilet and not worry about the floor getting wet. It's very easy to wipe clean, and I scrub it with a bit of soap every once and a while too. My husband used it for the first time today with a poopy nappy and even he was thrilled with how easy it was. We love using cloth, but poop has always felt like a bit of a messy chore. This totally changes that! It's easy, your hands are nowhere near the poo, it is just so quick and hygienic and great. I also love that when baby eventually potty learns, I'll still have use for it even if it's just used as a rubbish bin. So, highly recommend this. Also, I know there's like one other brand (think it's called a diaper pail or somesuch) out there and they use a round 5gallon bucket shape. I haven't used that one, but, I must say, the more rectangular shape of this spray stand feels really spacious. I like that the nappy lays flat, as opposed to on a round bucket where it might be harder to scrub because of the curve.
