Do they really wash clean???

My Hubby and freinds said that it wouldnt work either BUT they have all changed their opinions now.

Any stains left on the nappies after washing will bleach out in the sun! I was a huge sceptic till I saw it for myself.

[~Saram~]

I don't know why but the modern cloth don't stain! I did have to soak my terry squares in nappisan etc but our MCN go into a bucket of water and then into a wash with half as much Purity as recommended on the bottle (half a cap) and they was spotless nearly everytime. As the others have mentioned any residual stains i would put a bit of washing liquid directly on the atain and then rewash next time and hang in the sun - after 15mth of continuous use I have 1 black/blue stain on one baby kanga and my Bumgenius inserts are a little cream/yellow rather than white but you can't see the inserts anyway.

Sometimes we get stains, but after the next wash (if they don't get pooed on again) they are spotless once more!

That is so bizarre! Err . . .actually the ONE I have is terry toweling I think, do they stain? If so, why did I get the only one that does?!?!?!?

Is it a terry flat, Amy? You can soak cotton flats without any problem, as far as I'm aware... (Soaking tends to coat the fibres of the more modern fabrics and also seems to wear out the elastic of MCNS.)
My nappies do stain, for sure. But they always come out, either after some sunlight or after the second wash. If you use microfleece liners (you can cut your own from microfleece that you can get fairly cheaply) that helps to protect the nappy too, and I find those MCNs I have that have a fleece inner are the most stain resistant.

Ive never had any issues with my MCN staining either, I ensure I do a nice hot strip wash every 3rd or 4th wash though
