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 ;)


@MissFrodo Esther I have exactly the same washing machine as you. I wash nappies on the skin care cycle, sometimes on 40, sometimes 60, with a prewash, medic rinse and intensive. I'm washing Joseh's toddler nappies too so might not wash quite so intensively if it was just Eliana's bf nappies.

Do you soak or rinse the nappies before washing ?

Are you asking me or Kelly?

I used to rinse them in the machine before washing.

I always rinsed in cold water first.

I would rinse really yuckky poos off in the sink (again use cold so it doesn't set the smells) before popping in the bucket and then I would rinse it all in the machine. As for getting everything done I also had a helpful mum that came to France to help with both boys :giggle: It does get easier :hug: how old is he now?
