I found a great idea in a magazine and thought I would try it out before I wrote it down. I no longer use washing detergent to wash my nappies. I rinse them in hot water and then put them on a hot wash cycle in the washing machine and in the final rinse water I add a cup of vinegar. The nappies come out clean, so I am happy with the result. It also suggested to add lavendar flowers to the vinegar and let stand for two weeks and then use that in the rinse water. Apparently it makes it smell nicer. So that will be the next thing to try. Once I can find some lavendar flowers...
