Abstract

A system of washing and drying a reusable diaper including a housing defining a wash cavity configured to drain into a toilet bowl, reservoirs for water and detergent, a rack to retain the reusable diaper, a spray nozzle oriented toward the rack. Additionally, the system includes a brush head configured to dislodge waste, a fluid distribution system configured to distribute water from a water supply and detergent from the detergent reservoir, onto the reusable diaper via the spray nozzle, and a drying element configured to dry the reusable diaper retained on the rack. The system can include various configurations of frames to support the housing and allow access to a household water supply.
