Spring has sprung at last and the washing can be washed, dried and away all in less than a day! Stains vanish in the sunlight, and the kids are skipping to school - don't you just love the spring? Soon we'll put the winter coats and boots away and be looking out the flip flops and summer hats.
Top tips for nappy and san pro users - get the washing out on the line in the sunshine, does wonders for stain removal and is so much better for the fabric than tumble drying or putting on a radiator! For stain removal on nappies, try putting on a bit of lemon juice (from a bottle is fine), leave to soak in a few mins before washing, then dry in the sun. For stains on sanpro, best to soak your reusable sanitary towels in a little cold water with a bit of salt added to prevent stains setting. For those "just used" pads, run under the cold tap and squeeze out excess fluid, then soak, this really helps. Soaking water can be put down the toilet, or if you didn't add salt, you can use it in the garden, the plants love it!
Enjoy the spring!
