I also dont have hot water for my machine, so its always a cold wash. I also just use about half the amount powder for the nappies. I wash all the nappies together. i dont bother with seperate loads for differnt types of nappies. I've never had a problem with them not coming out clean after a cold wash (except for my bumgenius... dont know why but its just harder to get clean than the others). I dont usualy rinse twice. Only if theyre super dirty, but I always found newborn poo was pretty easy to get off and never needed a second rinse.
When theyre dirty I roll the dirtiness into the loo and dry pail it. Drying in the sun is really good for them as it bleaches them and they look cleaner. I try to line dry them but sometimes its just not possible and I have to put them in the dryer on the warm cycle (not the hot - it wrecks the pul.. still trying to get DH to understand this concept.)
Found this thread thought I'd use it to ask my question rather than starting a new thread as it does relate!!
I'm about to prewash my MCNs - they are BBH fitteds and AIO's. I've taken the bamboo inserts out of them, can i wash them all together? Or wash inserts separately?
It's probably a silly question but i'd rather ask than stuff up my stash of MCNs as they aren't cheap!!
I'm going to use warm wash with 1/2 detergent. Then 2nd and 3rd washes I'll use no detergent and just cold wash. Was reading BBH website and it didnt say anything about washing the boosters/inserts differently?? So do the same??
* I'll wash the PUL covers with the nappies but the wool covers separately as per the website states (lanolise them)
Just hoping someone can just confirm the above as being correct?? cheers ears!
