i've just been told bio washing powder eats bamboo?

just been on the phone to tots about sending back some faulty flexi tots i gotta send back. and was asked what powder i use and said i use bio washing powder and the reply i got was that bio has enzymes that eat bamboo.

anyone else heard this?

No, I haven't heard that! I use bio too

I've used bio on nappies for over 3 years and my bamboo nappies are fine

WSS, never had any probs here either.

Did they suggest using their powder Potion to wash them with?

well, nor have i actually. i just thought i'd best double check. my flexi tots have gone a bit bald, and on facebook i was told to contact tots about it, they said they reccommend non bio for there nappies coz of this eating o0f the bamboo or of course there own powder. i only use a desertspoon of powder in each wash it's not like i make a smoothie of the washing powder and pour it on. i did mention that don't most other countries mainly have bio, and i didn't get an answer. they are sending me a bag to send one of these bald flexi's back. shame, i do love them. the squishiest nappies i own!

Never heard of that either. I used bio on all my dd's and they were still in fab condition and Ive used bio of Ruairidh's too with no issues.

I have never heard anything so ridiculous. The UK is one of the few countries in the world that manufacture non-bio. In most counties bio is the norm. For example, in the USA most washing powders are bio, but Tots still sell nappies over there! My gut feeling is that it is tots trying to pass the blame onto you. I bet if you'd said you washed them in Potion they'd have asked what temp, etc etc until they found something that they could blame you for. They are responsible for their faulty product. They do not specify on the washing instructions on the label in the nappy that they must be washed in non-bio (because it is a lie!) so they are in the wrong. Get them to replace them and don't take no for an answer.

mine are fine and all I use is bio, have had LLs for nearly 2 years!
