Quick Guide Washing Instructions For Cloth Nappies.  

New nappies – Wash before using.  This wash can be a cold wash with no detergent.

1. Dirty nappies – Load the machine to no more than 3/4 full.  Run a cold – 30⁰ rinse cycle first with no detergent, this removes and breaks up solids and loosens stains. It also means you can add other items to your wash after the rinse cycle, which is ideal if you only have a few washable nappies, it means you do not have to run a full cycle with only a few items.
2. Detergent – use your usual non-bio detergent (powder is best). (Ecover is NOT suitable to use with cloth nappies).  NEVER use softener.
3. Washing Heat – Main wash at between 30⁰ or 60⁰ degrees but NEVER hotter than 60⁰. Wash at 60⁰ if your baby is under 3 months, your baby has repeated or unusual nappy rash, your baby is unwell at all or you have more than one baby using the same nappies.
4. Wash Cycle – Use an intensive wash cycle, or cotton cycle but not a “quick wash” or an “eco” setting because nappies need a lot of jiggling around and plenty of water to ensure they are clean and properly rinsed.  Spin cycle 1000 rpm is ideal, faster than that can damage some of the more delicate materials, ie bamboo.
5. Drying – Line dry if possible. For faster line drying, stand airer by radiator or use a dehumidifier.  This can cut drying time by more than half.  Nappies may be tumble dried on the low heat setting but you will shorten the life of the nappy if you tumble dry with every wash.  Do not dry any nappies or wraps directly on a radiator or heated rail.
