 Topic: Washing nappies
Posted: 10 August 2007 at 1:12pm |

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if I could get some input from you all. I was wondering how you wash your nappies? I put mine through a rinse first, then a warm wash and soak. When its soaking but before the water has drained out I turn the machine off and start again, so that the nappies get a really good wash. Then I put the nappies through another rinse.
Am I doing too much?

sometimes i rinse them first - but not always. then i put them on a heavy duty wash and add an extra rinse in to make sure i have no powder residue. its usally a warm wash and on the very odd occasion a hot wash. sometimes i put ti tree in and sometimes canestan and sometimes dettol, but not always.

I rinse mine first if they are mucky, then put them on a normal cycle with 'double rinse' (at the end). We don't have a hot tap in the laundry so they are mostly washed cold.

Normal cycle with extra rinse at end. Most on warm, sometimes hot, try to do cold whenever I feel it won't leave the naps yucky.
