General Care

Wash all nappies (preferably twice) before use. Washing removes chemical residues left from manufacture and helps the nappy reach its full absorbancy.

We recommend "dry-pailing" your nappies to reduce smell and water hazards. Dry-paling means you do not need to have water in the nappy bucket in your nursery.

We DO NOT recommend the use of nappy soakers or treatments (such as Napisan), or any washing formula containing bleach. This includes non-chlorine bleach (eg. "oxy" bleaches - sometimes called "optical brightners"). Such formulas are unnecessary, environmentally hazardous and will significantly reduce the life of your nappies.

Do not use fabric softeners on your nappies - it will reduce the absorbancy.

All of our nappies and covers may be tumble dried, but we recommend line drying when possible. Sunlight provides natural bleaching and sanitising. Tumble drying reduces the life of the nappies, increases the cost of cleaning the nappies and creates greenhouse gases through the use of electricity.
