When you say that, you mean vinegar and dishwasher tablets?

Thank you. So helpful. I bought some preloved nappies that are ok but a tiny bit smelly. I will be trying the dishwasher method tomorrow and hoping for sunshine :)

@Krissie+5 I'm not really convinced about using a dishwasher tablet being very good for the nappies to be honest. I'd first do a load with a full amount of powder then loads of rinses until there is no bubbles with a splash of white vinegar in the last rinse and then put out in the sun. This is much more gentle and in most cases is all you need to do. Honestly I'd try that then look at harsher methods if that hasnt' worked out for you :D
