how do you wash your nappies?

I have only ever done a daily wash (occasionally I leave them to every other day but then I have to do 2 loads)

I don't like doing a 'full load' though as I find they don't come out as clean as I like so I only really wash 10-12 at one go

Same here. If I put more than that in the machine the nappies aren't as clean.

We used to wash them every 2-3 days. Didn't put them in with clothes but it was the same cycle.

When dd was potty training and so only wearing one nappy (at night) we washed them in with towels.

I was every other day as well, usually about 12 -14 nappies. x

I wash every third day, but I do a cold rinse (no spin) of the day's nappies every evening. I wash wipes and microfibre meal cleaning-up cloths on the same wash, normally at 60 since I started adding the microfibre cloths. If there are any really yucky nappies and it isn't a wash day I'll do a cold quick wash with no spin and no detergent rather than just a rinse.

It depends how mucky they are. If they're mostly just wet ones, then I'll often stick them in with an ordinary wash if I don't have enough nappies to do a half load. I always do a pre wash and I have super rinse on so they come out nice and clean.

Otherwise, I wash with towels if I have any of those needing doing, muslins etc, or I do a nappy wash on the third day rather than the second day if that makes sense?

Only nappies in the load here. I wash every other day usually - about 12 or so nappies at a time

Often feel a bit guilty if the machine isn't 3/4 full so will fill it with other bits too if the nappies don't. Try and aim for things like towels and underwear but it doesn't always work out like that...

If washing isn't getting the poo off everything then I question why I am using the washing machine

I do a nappy-only wash every 3 days; about 18-20 nappies in total. I used to use a standard 40 or 60 degree wash but it wasn't always cleaning the nappies thoroughly, so now I always do a 25 degree prewash without detergent followed by a 40 or 60 degree wash.
