OK, I have 5 different types of MCN to pre wash, all are AI2's and all my liners and boosters so far are just microfibre.... no bamboo ones yet, still waiting....
They all have different instructions!!!
I have the machine doing a warm empty wash at the moment, to clean it.
So do I just do a normal wash, with a small amount of powder, and rinse twice??
Do I use cold, warm or hot??
Do I rinse in vinegar?? Some say yes, others say definatly dont...
I have folded all the velcro back, so it doesn't fluff.
Its raining here, so will be drying in the dryer this time, but will line dry when they are dirty and need the sun!!
Just do a normal cold wash (or warm if you like) with half the amount of powder you would use on a load of similar size.
eta - Don't tumble dry your PUL covers. They will dry fast enough inside.
You need to watch what temps you expose PUL too also elastic in the nappy so its not a great idea to use the drier to often on those. Only if your desperate & on warm. Just wack the boosters in & hang the outer in front of the drier.
I use a 60 wash usually and once a month or so a 90 wash when dirty. Definitly rince twice and only use 1/4 detergent. I don't use the cold wash on dirty nappies because I just don't think they would get clean enough.
I don't have hot water at my machine so its always a cold wash, I don't rinse twice either as I am on tank water. I do the longest cycle on my machine though.
About to pre-wash my MCN... HELP!!!
