Stripping help please
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 7:24 amHi all,
I am new to the cloth world although I have quite a stash that I have collected now I have no idea about stripping!
Do I need to do this to new nappies or is it just once they have a build up?
Dippy - I know but untill recently I had just read a few bits on cloth, washed them lots before using (bought new) and have not yet suffered a leak. Is this just luck?
I have just bought some preloved cloths and then read about stripping - now I am in a panic!
BTW- I have popolini's and totbots, prefolds used with Mio outers.
Feel like a novice - so any help would be great
TY

As Kirsty has said, you don't need to strip new nappies, just wash as normal, with a little washing powder and an extra rinse. Sounds like you are doing fine since you aren't getting any leaks 
If your preloved nappies leak or smell strongly when they have been worn, then there might be a build up of washing powder, so a strip wash would solve that
