Washing your nappies & wraps

Fasten all Velcro to prevent snagging.

Optional Pre–wash to remove any residue, then follow with a 60° wash**.

Use non-biological washing powder/liquid as this is kinder to skin and effective at higher temperatures.

Do not use fabric softener as it reduces the absorbency of the nappies.

30-40mls of white vinegar in the fabric conditioner compartment will deodorise and soften your nappies.

To preserve patterns and prevent discolouration of wraps wash at lower temperatures.

**Always check the label on your nappies to ensure correct washing!
Optionally wash your wet nappies on a cooler 40° wash and your soiled at 60°)
