Did I ruin my new nappies?

I think I'll go against the grain here. They are new naps, so I wouldn't be washing them in hot water.
I have never used CT, do they have PUL in their makeup? If so, I def wouldn't strip wash them.

Nappies take 8-10 washed to get them to full absorbancy, and you usually do afew pre-washes before wear anyway.
I'd be inclined to do afew regular pre-washes and then use the nap BEFORE trying a strip wash.

Thanks for your quick responses, glad to hear I haven't ruined them.

Miss Cinders - I'm not sure what PUL is. It has a fluffy cover.

hey Lisa Just looked at the site and yep they have PUL [Polyurethane laminate] in their makeup.
Sometimes strip washing a nappy that contains PUL can damage the PUL making the nappy wick.
I would personally contact CT and ask their advice. If you don't and you damage the nappy, your warranty could be void.
OR check out the CT site and see if you can find any washing instructions/tips.

Hey hun,

I have a whole set of CT's, if you jump on their website, under the about us section then the blog section it tells you step by step washing instructions and they also tell you how to do a strip wash. Don't wash them above 40 degrees as it will damage the PUL and don't use any stain removers, napisan, fabric softeners etc on them.
Hope this helps
