Cloth diapers, part 3.... {tip and tricks and cleaning}

So how do you clean your cloth diapers??? That is usually one of the first questions I get when I mention cloth diapers. I use a wet bag. If the BOY decides to dirty himself, which he does frequently!!! I change his diaper, using my nice homemade wipes. Then I take the wipe {yes I only use 1~ EVER} and diaper into the bathroom.

I plan on purchasing these in the size one for the new baby, but I still have time. I also received some thirsties wipes , with the thirsties diapers I purchased. I figured there was no difference in them vs a regular washcloth. As far as cleaning power, and the way they clean, there isn't a difference.
