IMPORTANT News about Bamboo Care

Great, so much for the ease of dry-pailing!! I never rinse. Bugger.

Gotta say, I've never rinsed my bamboo ones, and we haven't washed very frequently since April last year, and haven't had any disintegrating or any issues at all. We use green kids bamboo inserts.

I'd heard that's the case with most mcn's- shouldn't dry pail them for more than 24 hours, because the ammonia fumes will eat into most fabrics and elastics... but I'm new at this, so don't take my word for it

Hmm I didn't know either, I dry pail for a day or two, well was washing dailiy until I got some more IB's this week, so looks like I will be rising daily now, thanks Alioops!

oooooo, good to know as my stash just got big enough to go 2 days w/out washing.

Thanks for the info

Any ideas on how long to disintegrate? I wash every other day and don't rinse and to be honest am not keen on rinsing as the dry pailing appeals ease point as view as well as trying to limit water consumption. I use Green Kids Bamboo inserts - if the disintegrate is 5 years then would continue as I am - 8 months in so far and no sign of inserts disintegrating.

Is a shame if dry pailing is no good because, I think will put people off using cloth.

Well I'm still to get a bamboo nappy disintegrate after 3 years of using them, but I guess it might happy one day as some others have experienced it. Thanks for posting anyway Alioops.

Yes i discovered this the hard way with a GF I was in tears, I love those nappies! At least it was only the insert but still
