strip-wash - de-stinkifies nappies after toxic teething wees leave them stanking to high heaven even after regular washing and sunning. Use a tiny bit of dishwashing detergent and rinse, rinse, rinse, or the vinegar and bi-carb, depending on the fabrics.

mel - you know there's probably decades worth of cane-farming pesticides leaching into your water supply. There's a reason all those cane farmers are a bit nutty and there's no fish in the river. I should know, I grew up right in the middle of the cane field to the left of that motorway between Paciffo and Coolum! I always said there was something in the water there that made people ... um... y'know... special! Sorry, just throwing another whacko theory out there! LOL! I got no idea really why your kids nappies are disintegrating, but it's sad.
