Washing Your Nappies

• Step 1 - Dry Pail:Shake solids into the toilet, rinse out excess anddry pail (any basket with holes) .
• ForNight Nappies,hothand wash with small amount of detergent OR go straight to Step 2, but wash on 60 degrees
• Step 2 - Pre-wash (every 1-2 days):Short cycle using 1/2 recommended detergent for heavily-soiled loads, 40-60 degrees, spin (800-1000rpm) and dry pail until Main Wash day
• Step 3 - Main Wash (every 1-3 days):Long cycle (2-3hrs), full dose of detergent, 40-60 degrees, spin (800-1000rpm) 
• Step 4 - Dry:For inserts (dry in the sun or in dryer); and for nappy shells (dry in shade or on low heat)

BE CAREFUL OF…

• Fabric softeners can be used, but infrequently (e.g. 1 in every 3^rd wash) as they can reduce absorption of the inserts.
• If using nappy balms containing zinc/petroleum, place a reusable or disposable liner on top of the insert
  • It is ok to use nappy balms as long as you have: (1) adequate agitation (sufficient loading in the machine), (2) non-eco detergent and (3) warm-hot water – this will help wash out your rash creams.
  • Test your wash routine on a microfleece liner first if unsure.
