Really helpful advice, thank you! I’m still finding my way with cloth nappies, so am making notes.

Drying on the line in the sun is the best stain remover, great for poo stains and food stains on bibs and clothes. Slightly ‘crispy’ nappies will soften when rubbed together too.

thanks for another great article

To keep my nappy bucket smelling fresh, I put a reusable wipe at the bottom of the bucket with a few drops of tea tree oil on it. You could also use a breast pad or panty liner stuck to the underside of the lid instead of the reusable wipe.

Care of bumGenius

i have been absolutely delighted with my bumgenius nappies! Having had a thorough debate with Peter about which nappy to try i plumbed for the bumgenius and have not been disappointed. Easy to use and care for. i rinse the inserts separately on a cold wash then the outer wrap with the inserts on a 60 degree wash with a cap of vinegar in the tray and a teaspoon of soap flakes (these have no perfumes, dyes, bleaches) and wash! Every 5 or 6 months i put the whole lot in a wash with a dishwasher tab to strip them (as advised by cotton babies … yes i rang the U.S.!) i then put only the outer wraps in the tumble dryer for 12minutes and this then ‘chuffs’ up the velcro and they stick like new.
I use washable fleece liners so this really cuts down on stains but borax or carbolic soap does the trick, i then give an extra rinse to minimse soap/detergent ‘build-up’ and then wash as usual.

I must add that delivery is always quick from Babipur, i live in London, and the friendly and expert advice means i go back to them again and again.
