Baby behinds have their own washing instructions for their nappies but I do things a bit differently as I found in TAS it was hard to get enough sun to keep them smelling nice all the time!

HOW TO KEEP YOUR NAPPY NICE!

How I strip wash:

Get clean dry nappies and put them in a bucket of water with half a cup of vinegar (baby behinds don’t recommend this due to the fact that it will wear the nappies out quicker but it works really well and I havent found its caused any damage to mine) leave overnight.

the next morning pour the whole bucket and all its contents into the washing machine.(pop in half a cup of bi carb if desired)

• Set on HOT and on rinse up on a high water level,

• once that’s done set it on whatever HEAVY DUTY wash you have and leave to wash without any detergents or soaps again on high.

• Set them on one more rinse and for extra oomph pop in a cup of teatree oil .

• Dry in the sun.

EXTRA TIPS

I add half a cup of vinegar to all my washes I find it keeps everything cleaner and helps to keep the machine clean also.

Adding bi carb to every second wash is recommended by baby behinds.

Washing with only half the normal detergent will stop you having to strip wash as often.

Strip washing should be done when nappies start to smell or stop being as absorbent.

Using liquid dishwashing detergent inwash can help strip wash  but you must continue to use the rinse mode unless there are no bubbles left.

Dry in the sun as much as possible to kill all bacteria

Don’t use napisan on MCN as it just clogs the material further and breaks down the nappy.
