How to Wash Cloth Nappies
All nappy brands and groups have different wash guidelines. Please follow the below when using your Cloth Nappy Library loan kit.
- Remove solids (If started weaning).
- Dry pail: keep nappies dry in a bucket or wet bag until you have enough for a wash.
- Close all Velcro Tabs on the cloth nappies and open up all the snap poppers.
- First a short Cool Rinse cycle (no detergent). Wash load does not need to be full.
- Second a full wash load on a long hot cotton wash (2.5-3 hours) at 40 or 60 degrees with full dose of Biological Powder.
- Alternatively you can choose to use Non Biological powder but you must then wash at 60 degrees or add Nappy Sanitiser to the wash.
- You can bulk up your second wash with small items like tea towels, dish cloths, muslins, baby clothes.
- Air dry or low heat.
- Do not use fabric softener.
- No soaking or bleach
- No optical brighteners.
- No liquid pods.
- No hot tumble drying.
- Please do not place nappies on direct heat (radiators or heated airer).
