pocket nappy users need your advice

okay so i am using mummys touch nappies, but with RHiannons teething she is having 3-4 really sh*tty nappies that are instantly soaking through to the inserts and no amount of washing and hanging in the sun is getting the stains out of the inserts.

i have also tried soaking them in nappy san before washing them.

i was my nappies on a hot wash with a bit of napysan then do a cold rinse...and they are on the line from 8am-3 or 4pm

any suggestions would be good

to tell the truth i just think - meh, just an insert - we have stains on our fuzzis but I'm not concerned as long as they are clean!

I'm a bit like Liz. My nappies themselves haven't stained but some of my inserts are and I'm actually more concerned that they may still hold some smell and release that when they are wet So what I've started doing recently is to nappisan every couple of weeks, but only whichever ones are waiting to be washed. Then a couple of weeks later I do it again - presumably they all soaked at some stage.

The other thing is that I don't have a hot tap for my washing machine.

try white vinegar and baking soda (or an Oxy Action wash)

Was about to say what Gsmum said - hot water can set stains. I soak my inserts in Napisan and then just put them through a cold gentle cycle. I don't soak the pockets themselves unless they are 'dirty' otherwise I just drypail them and chuck them in the machine with the inserts and 1/2 scoop of powder then hang them in the sun. We've had no probs with staining - and my girls have tar in their nappies from the neocate
