Nappy Care Instructions
Nappy Care Instructions

Caring for you cloth nappies is very easy, below is a quick run down (a more detailed explanation can be found on my home page under Nappy Care:

  • Step 1 Remove any solid waste into the toilet.

  • Step 2 Store you used nappies in an air tight container (no soaking required). This method is known as Dry Pailing.

  • Step 3 Wash your nappies on a normal cycle with half the detergent that would normally be used in your everyday
        washing. DO NOT use washing detergents that contain ENZYMES, BRIGHTENERS, ADDITIVES OR FABRIC
        SOFTENERS. DO NOT use FABRIC SOFTENERS. DO NOT use VINEGAR
    in your nappy wash as it can effect
        the elastic in the nappies. Machine wash on normal cycle with only half the detergent you would normally use.
        Washing in hot or warm water is recommended, but cold will work fine too. Whether you pre rinse at the start of the
        wash & or do an additional rinse at the end of the wash to make sure all detergent is out of the nappy, is personal
        preference only. DO NOT SOAK YOUR NAPPIES IN ANY FORM OF BLEACH, ENZYME CLEANERS OR
        BRIGHTENERS. Recommended detergents to use are Tots Bot Potion, The Natural Baby Company Tiny
        Bubbles, Planet Ark, Aware, Earth’s Choice, Green Care, Tri Nature, Purity, Sensitive or Ecostore.
    If you
        only have a small number of nappies to wash put them into the washing machine first on rince & spin cyle & then add
        your other items & wash. Special Note - Most leading washing detergents in supermarkets are not suitable
        for use on your cloth nappies, always ensure that you read the small print, ingredients listed on the
        box as most of them will state that they contain ENZYMES, BRIGHTENERS, ADDITIVES OR FABRIC
        SOFTENERS.


  • Step 4 Wool Items - Wool products only need to be washed every few weeks as they can be air dried between
        nappy changes. They only need to be washed before the two weeks if they become soiled from poo. Most wool
        products are protected with lanolin which neutralizes odors. Hand wash with wool wash in warm water. wring out
        moisture by wrapping in a towel. Hang to dry (outside in the Sun is the best). Every few months (or when the dry
        wool cover smells) it is recommended after washing that you put the lanolin back into the cover.

  • Step 5 Drying - Sunshine is the perfect way to dry cloth nappies out on the clothes line. Sunshine has fantastic
        qualities - perfect for getting out stains, kills bacteria, is free & keeps mother nature happy. If hanging nappies on
        the line isnt for you, the dryer is your other option, but please ensure that you only use a low to very low heat
        setting (always read the label on your nappy/cover before doing this. NEVER PUT ANY PUL NAPPY COVERS OR
        WOOL ITEMS IN THE DRYER. Pul nappy covers dry very quickly & wool will shrink excessively if put into the dryer.

    SPECIAL NOTE TO REMEMBER Cloth nappies generally do not reach full absorbency until being washed 2-3 times before use. Bamboo nappies require between 5 to 10 pre washes. You should use laundry detergent (one that DOES NOT contain enzymes, optimal brighteners, fabric softeners etc), but you do not need to dry them between washes (unless specified by the manufacturer). When the fabric is woven a substance similar to fabric softener is used to coat the fibres so that they run smoothly through the looms. This needs to be removed so that maximum absorbency can be achieved. You can use the nappies after just one wash, but please remember to take into consideration that they do not reach their full absorbency until the indicated number of washes.

    Please find below the manufactures care instructions for their products (let me if you are unable to open these files).
