We will teach you how to wash cloth nappies and diapers, and keep them clean. Our advice is developed and tested by qualified chemists and professionals.
Front Loader Wash Routine
Front loaders use less water, have longer cycles than traditional top loaders and most heat their own water.
Using sunlight (ultraviolet light) for stain removal and sanitisation
Ultraviolet light (UV) only affects the surface layer of fabric. Nappy inserts are typically multi-layered so UV won’t reach the layers underneath.
High-Efficiency Top Loader Wash Routine
High-Efficiency Top Loaders use less water and have longer wash cycles compared to traditional Top Loaders.
Traditional Top Loader wash routine
Top Loaders provide a faster wash using more water than a Front Loader, however they aren’t as effective in comparison.
How to dry Modern Cloth Nappies
Use the highest spin speed on your washing machine (1200-1400rpm) to remove maximum water during the wash cycle and require less drying time.
How to wash cloth nappies and diapers
Run a daily prewash cycle on subsequent days and complete a main wash when there is enough nappies/laundry to fill a main load.
