IMPORTANT News about Bamboo Care

[alioops]

I have recently found out something VERY important about looking after Bamboo.

If they are left with Urine in them for over 24 hours they will eventually disintegrate. To prevent this it is now recommended that the nappies get rinsed before putting in the bucket or washed every day. This should hopefully prevent you losing any more nappies.

thanks for posting! Ive just had a CT disintegrate on me (second hand) so I'll make sure I rinse now

Good to have you back too!

wow - that would explain why one of my night nappies has just disintergrated! grrr, oh well a lesson learnt, now to wash every day, or at least rinse them...

Now I know why my pumpkin pop-in and one of my CT has done this. Good to know.

Hmm....off to rinse them now.
Hopefully i'm not too late

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
