Note. All new nappies need to be washed three times before use to become absorbent. No need to dry between cycles; just leave them in washing machine and restart.

1. Remove boosters and liners from nappies
2. Fasten any velcro washing tabs
3. Store dirty nappies, boosters and any reusable liners in a dry pail with a lid. Store nappies until you have a full load, but do not leave soiled nappies unwashed for longer than three days.
4. Wash on a full, long cycle at 40 or 60 degrees. Do not use short or eco washes; we recommend a wash cycle that lasts longer than two hours for the most effective clean.
5. Use a full dose of detergent, and follow package guidelines for dosage according to conditions. We recommend powder detergent.
6. Air drying is best; you can tumble dry on a low heat setting only, do not tumble dry wraps or pocket nappy shells.

Note. Do not use bleaching agents or fabric softeners.

Line drying in direct sunshine is best as the sun naturally bleaches the fabric and it’s free and kind to the planet.

Near, but not touching, a heat source like a radiator is also good and the nappies can also be dried on a low heat in the drier. 

If you are using bamboo or cotton nappies give them a quick flick to spread the towelling pile; it speeds up drying and makes them feel softer.

Excessive high heat in a dryer will affect the life-span of the nappies but is OK every now and then in an emergency.

Air movement is the key to drying all laundry. The warmer the air temperature the quicker the water molecules evaporate but without a draught the molecules will be attracted back to the garment*.

If you air-dry the nappies inside make sure it’s a draughty spot. I use a small table-top fan for my inside drying area. If it’s set on the lowest speed all my laundry will still dry overnight. To power my fan costs just over 4p a day – a lot cheaper than a drier!

*If you weren't staring out of the window in your science lessons you'll know that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. They stick together as one is negatively charged and the other is positive - acting like magnets. When a water molecule evaporates away from a garment it's attracted to the closest water molecule available due to the 'magnetism' - which is usually back in the nappy. That's why laundry dries much quicker in a draught.
