New machine has ruined elastic in BumGenius's

[Nettie]

Does anyone wash in cold water? I only use cold and am about to purchase MCN. Didn't consider until now that you might HAVE to wash in hot water... What would be the consequence of using a cold cycle? Any ideas?

Sorry to hijack thread...

Nettie, i only wash in cold...
I don't know that it really makes a difference, but my nappies come out fine, with enough sun they're bleached clean and they'rer still soft and flufyf liek when i bought them.

To me, it kind of defeated the purpose of saving money on sposies if i was going to have to pay for hot water...

To check the temp, you could feel the water as it was running out of the machine IYKWIM. My electroulux front loader rinses with cold even on a 60degree wash, so clothes are never warm when i take them out.
Like you say though, on the tag it says hot wash...... so shouldn't matter.

My bumG's have been washed on 60 degrees on a long cycle and are fine. (7 months old) I agree with Raven, drop them an email, you never know you might get some newies!

I do a pre rinse in cold then a long wash cycle in 60 deg water...none on my nappies have lost elastic yet...and i sure hope they dont!

Thanks. Glad to know I don't have to change my washing routine.
