Back to Basic's !

It feels like forvere since I was washing cloth nappies and I feel totally out the loop of what are the current best practices for washing cloth.
Firstly I'd like a recommended routine i.e rince once , wash at 40 ect and also what to wash with for best clean results and no build up.
I have a washer dryer , the dryer doesn't get used that often but does every now and again.
Thanks in advance!

I feel pretty similar Scarlet! I can t remember exactly what I used to do and we ve changed powder since.
I ll watch this thread too

Are you 40 weeks today??

I cold rinse then wash at 40. I used to wash at 60 when I had day nappies with poop but we only have night nappies now.

I cold rinse, wash at 40 (60 if there are any particularly nasty nappies) with a full dose of bio powder. Ariel is the best bio powder IMO but as our water here is very hard I use Bold 2 in 1 for nappies (not the ones with Lenor in as the softener isn't clay based) then rinse several times at the end. Again because we have very hard water I find I need a full dose of powder with extra rinses gets the nappies cleaner than half a dose with fewer rinses. For newborns its recommended to wash at 60 though for the first few months.

My water is very hard as well! We actually have some of the purple bold at the mo!

I just wash at 40 with home made washing powder

I always did a cold rinse then normal wash at 40 or 60 when baby was tiny or had a funny tummy. I'm so jealous, I want to wash tiny nappies again

I'm trying to come to a routine as well, yes early but I don't want to hassle when baby is here

I was thinking cold rinse, wash at 60 for the first 3 months with an extra rinse afterwards.

We have a LG 11 kg machine that I didn't use for nappies yet so if anyone can recommend the best way please

I'm doubting about the washing powder, here good stories about using Potion but if it doesn't work I always have Ariel nearby
