My husband is a stripper…

I just love telling that to people. My husband enjoys it even more than I do, embellishing with some dance moves and a “wakka chakka chakka”. Then we temper a great story with the truth. By stripper we mean diaper stripper. As in he strips other people’s diapers. Diaper stripping refers to a process of removing any build up that may be on your diaper – likely detergent – that is causing the stinkies and a lack of absorbency. If you have your own cloth diapers, you know what I’m talking about. That horrid smell that you just can’t get rid of. The leaking from your once leak-proof diapers. It’s almost impossible to get rid of, especially if you have a high-efficiency front loading washing machine that you can’t soak your diapers in. One of my friends was so desperate once that she boiled her diapers on the stovetop. Not highly recommended – it tooks days for the smell to dissipate from her kitchen!

We dreamed up this sideline to our business after the first time we washed our own diapers at the shop. As you can imagine, after two years, our diapers were grayish-brown, smelled like ammonia and had the absorbency of a rubber boot. When Chris brought them home from the shop, I was astounded. They were like new – soft, white, odour-free and like sponges! We immediately knew that other cloth diapering parents needed our service. And how it's taken off. Most of our diaper stripping clients hear about the service from their friends. We have business coming in from the Valley and Yarmouth. You've invested hundreds if not thousands of dollars into your diapers, they deserve a little TLC every now again to keep you sane and your tot comfortably diapered.

And there you have it... my husband is a stripper.
