How to keep your diaper bag organized and clean

As a busy parent, a well-organized and clean diaper bag is essential for tackling the challenges on the go. Having everything you need readily accessible can make outings smoother and more enjoyable for both you and your munchkin.


To get the most out of your diaper bag, we want to share some tips on how to keep it organized and clean!

Schedule a regular cleaning

The first step is to instill a cleaning schedule or routine - this could be weekly, or monthly, depending on how often you use the bag.

During your scheduled cleaning, remove any crumbs or garbage from the bottom of the bag. Then, use a clean soft cloth with lukewarm water to wipe the inside and outside of the bag. If your bag requires deeper cleaning check out our Easy Guide to Keep Your Lovatte Diaper Bag Clean.

Use essential compartments

To keep your diaper bag organized, ensure to utilize all compartments in your diaper bag. Throwing every item, you need into one central compartment can lead to inconvenience. The last thing you want as a parent is not being able to find what your munchkin needs at the moment.

For example, the Red Diaper Bag CRUZ is an easy-to-clean bag, with multiple compartments to maintain organization and freshness. And don’t get us started on the wet compartment pocket!

Zippered pouches are a must

Using zippered pouches is a great way to further organize the packed items within each compartment. For instance, put together a diaper-changing kit or a snack bag. It helps to quickly get access to the items in a heartbeat instead of losing them in the shuffle.

Pack strategically

Be mindful of how you pack your diaper bag!  Place frequently used items, like diapers and wipes, in easily accessible compartments, and do your best to keep liquids away from clothes, towels, or blankets. Don't forget to frequently check what you have packed for refills and as our munchkins grow up quickly and clothes and diapers for example might be too small in a matter of days.

Minimize non-essentials

While carrying everything you think you might need is tempting, an overstuffed diaper bag can quickly become chaotic. Be mindful of packing only the essentials to prevent unnecessary clutter. A great way to avoid additional clutter is to use a bag that includes everything you may need.
