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? ------------- Michelle http://lilypie.com">

I just do them on a normal cycle. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| 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. |
