     Topic: Microfibre and bleach     Posted: 19 May 2008 at 9:49am |

   I have some nasty stains on some of my MF inserts. I have them hanging in the sun, but I think they will need more than that to look clean again. Can I bleach them??

   Hmmmm, I would stay clear of bleach personally - I'd just keep them out in the sun whenever you can and the stains will eventually fade.

   yeah I thought bleach might not be a good idea. I've bleached my pre-folds before, but nothing else. Maybe I will give them a soak in some nappisan.

   Just wondering.. why do the stains matter on inserts? A couple of mine have stains but I don't care since it is just an insert that is hidden.

   Hmmm, I've never really thought of that before. I don't know to be honest! I was just hanging them on the line this morning, and looking at them thinking they 'look' dirty

   I agree Nicola, I wouldn't feel bad about the stains - you know they're clean and noone else see's what's inside

   I can't stand stains on my inserts! I don't normally get any but if I do I napisan and sun them til they're good!
