Elastic failure: is my washing regime to blame?
Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 9:43 pm
Have bought cotton LL in GUC from various sellers, and am suffering 4 cases of elastic failure (on all sides) this week (out of about 10 similar condition nappies). Am I washing too harsh or am I just unlucky? I wash on 60C, with 40ml of powder (supermarket own brand), prewash + extra rinse. line dried except for once in a machine.
and either way, how can I replace the elastic? need a step by step guide for someone who never sews! the nappies still fine, be a shame to throw them out for lack of elastic.
thanks
