DF thinks his way is best, I think my way is best- WDYT?

[*Efjay*]

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?

I usually leave mine overnight in the machine (after they have been washed) and then give them another rinse before I hang them out.

So if thats what you do as well - its good to give a lot of rinses

See it as an opportunity... for him to wrck all your nappies and then buy you a new stash! He thinks he's right, you get more nappies, it's win-win.

Yeah no soaking from what I've read, damages the elastic too.

your way. you don't need to soak, i don't even soak my terry/flanny flats!

I do a cold rinse, then a 30* wash with ecostore powder then they get hung out to dry (i have loads of nappies so I'm able to just let them hang til they're dry ) and all the covers and boosters get washed together!
I do however seperate the shells and the boosters into seperate buckets, mostly to make sure that they are actually all apart when they go in the wash, (i hate pulling a nappy out of the machine and seeing its still all nsapped together!) but also so the amonia wee smell doesn't do the dirty to my elastics and PUL. Oh and sometimes with my last rinse i use some canestan.
