Nappy Cleaners

by masonfamilyComment Published at 16:5016:505 comments5 comments62 Visits62 VisitsReport

 Hi everyone, was just wondering what everybody used to get the nappies white and bright? I use napisan Oxy Action and Sunlight soap for the real tough stains. I also put Dettol in the rinse cycle but lately I havent been able to get them really white. I was thinking maybe because my babies are eating a different variety of food so their no:2's are... shall we say stronger!!!  

I use alot of elbow grease but they still wont budge. What would you recommend? Any advice or stories are greatly appreciated. 

Peace Hannah

Sunlight - if I can find any! I dont wet pail any more, and rarely use detergent (switched to wash balls) so mostly I'm pragmatic about stains - after all, no-one sees the inside of the nappies except me. And most of them are brightly coloured fleece. But the wash balls do as good a job as the detergent IMO and I REALLY dont miss wet pailing.

I use Aldi brand nappy soaker over night, giving them a squelch with my hands a few times during the night if I remember, and they usually come up a treat, but I know what you mean about no 2's being stronger!! Sometimes it takes a couple of washes, and a few really long hangs in the sun (Horror of horrors if there is no sun to be had!!).

Sunshine is the best thing for these stains...you will never completely get them out by washing but sunlight will fade them fast so make sure you hang them out in the sun whenever you can. Also putting some vinegar in the wash with them helps.

Sunlight.

I don't use any chemicals on our nappies (or clothes)
