Washing frequency - is 3 days too long?

I would be more worried about them going foosty if you rinsed them first then left them for 3 days, we dry pailed with no probe at all. You should always be doing a cold rinse first before your hot wash x

Foosty...?!

I go 3 days , sometimes 4 now as we in just NN here but I do a cold rinse first before the main wash.

Lol that isn't just a me word is it, foosty- smelly and mouldy being left sit wet if they are rinsed x

No, we say that up here too. But spell it different I think, fusty?

I wash every 2 -3 days, sometimes get a bit of staining on microfibre but nothing that wont sun out, never had mould or nasties. If you have any try adding a few drops of tea tree oil on a cloth in the bottom of the pail. Tea Tree is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-sceptic so helps keep things fresher and also combats 3 day old stink when you open the bucket.

I wash usually every (2-)3 days and haven't had any problems. Nappies are clean and fresh. I store soiled nappies dry in a wet bag (Rumparooz), but if they're pooed I always rinse them first and use gall soap with care, then add to wet bag. Our washing machine is new (bought 3 months ago) and that helps a lot.

After emptying the wet bag I place there a dry piece of fleece with few drops of eucalyptus or spearmint essential oil (next I'm gonna try tea tree also). Keeps the wet bag fresh very well

I only wash once a week now as DD is only in night nappies. We have had no problems with stains or mould etc and I dry pail.

I regularly wash nappies every 3 days, always been fine here. I rinse pooey ones and then leave them in the bucket. I do a cold rinse in the machine before the full wash cycle.
And @kirstyh yes, foosty is a good Glaswegian word I wouldn't use any other word for something that smelled, erm, foosty.

We use a similar word here in Suffolk: Foisty. (pronounced foy-sty) it means the same thing.
