We'll I give your DH credit for trying to do a nappy wash - more than my DH was every game to do. But i think your method is the right one. I dry pail, then cold rinse, then cold wash in half strength liquid detergent (currently amolin for sensitive skin) and then line dry. Will line dry in the shade in summer otherwise they go too hard and stiff. But the sun is the only thing that can fade the poo stains.
Definetly your way but i do give your DH credit though when i decided to try DS on cloth DH made quite clear that if DS was in 1 he would NOT be changing him he hated using cloth so i give your DH credit for trying
I chuck everything in together including her clothes and towels and do a warm wash with half a scoop of Nappisan as detergent. I don't pre-rinse, figure I've already done that when I'm Little Squirting the poo's off, and they always come out really clean. Line dry in the sun for added bleaching effect.
All mine go in the wash with the soaks & undies load on 40 degree with about a 3/4 of the "normal" scoop of detergent, line dried. I don't hang them fancy I just get them done. I wash every day so they don't even go in a dry pail bucket just tossed in the wash basket & washed by the evening.
Thanks for the advice everyone, DF read the thread after some not so subtle hints from me (ie leaving it open on the screen for when he opens the laptop up next )
He was absolutely infuriating though and decided his way was right anyway, and because i did not mention that i sometimes leave my nappies in the machine overnight before drying all of your responses are voided.... I seriously wonder why i bother anymore, perhaps i should just accept that now i am on maternity leave this automatically makes me an id!ot who has no idea about anything?
