Topic: Drying Nappys Posted: 06 March 2009 at 8:52pm |
How do you guys do it? & how long do you reckon on an average day that your naps take to dry.
I don't have a drier & it does take a long time to dry them on the line outside. Is it that I'm just used to the flats drying so fast.
Winter won't be an issue as I'll just put them inside on the drying rack & the dry fire heat will dry them fast, surprisily I know this as I have already used the fire this year!

I am bad and use the dryer quite often. But to dry the pocket (no insert) here cantake up to an hour on the line outside on a good day. The inserts take a lot often. Once I have my fire in the lounge going more often I cam going to dry them on the rack in front of that and I know the pockets and inserts are dry the next day.

I find the itti bittis get a bit smelly in our dryer so I try to dry on the line as much as poss. Otherwise I have found the heated towel rail does well. Almost dry overnight.

At the moment our inserts (fuzzis) dry in about 3 hours outside. On wet days we hang them under the eaves and they still dry in a day - except in the real wet and cold of winter, when we have to use the dryer (but not often).

I've always dried my cloth nappies on a clothes horse/airing rack - that way I can just move the whole thing to the best drying spot! - usually outside in the sunniest spot, unless it's raining. At the moment my D'lish AIO's (which is all I'm using as a night nappy for Leo) dry in around 6hrs on a sunny day, more like all day if indoors.

I put one in our hot water cupboard, we have a boster heat thing in there, and so far overnight they are dry, that will be great for winter.
I only started using them yesterday and I only have 2 but I love them soooo much, I will get the 6 pack for home use as her daycare only use disposables.
