You can also rinse with vinegar and tea tree oil to kill bugs.

Yeah, do a hot wash next time. i asked about it in the nappy discussion thread last year sometime

[HotI]

does vinegar and tea tree oil kill virus or just bacteria?

Yep, about 80%, so in line with bleach and other cleaning agents. A double rinse during this time is most probably advisable.

Just makes me think about the environmental effect of disposables even more. Can you image all these virus poo nappies in land fill, being rained on and the water running off into the water tables. Ew! At least with cloth, it's going into the toilet, where it belongs and can be treated.

tea tree is an antiviral but I'd be using that and hot water. Rotavirus is one of those ..umm...'hardier' bugs
