| You need to wash them in baking soda and white vinegar. If you look on the Honeychild website, the instructions are there. |

and hang them out in the sunshine. The UV will kill off the germies (germs = odour) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hot wash with 1/2c vinegar.
Cold rinse with 1/2c baking soda. Cold rinse with just water. That's how I do it. |

I still swear by giving them a good scrub with dishwashing liquid. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Caitlin's smell like "old jock straps" according to DH 
I put them all through a rinse cycle today with dettol in wash and put them all, fleece side up, out in the sunshine. They don't smell of anything now  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

They seriously do! Like someone has been wearing shoes with no socks all day on a 30 degree day!! DF is getting really annoyed with it.. wants to go back to sposies  but im not! I have just put her in her nappy stacey made for th night with an extra insert because i accidently had her in a fuzzibun last night with a insert and booster and it leaked a little.. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Ever since I started using that Dettol in wash stuff, I have had no smell issues at all. And the sun/fresh air really does help too.
BTW congrats on the pregnancy!! Just think how much money you will save on nappies second time round by reusing all Kylah's ones ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |
