vinegar & bicarb soda

[Lisa B]

Hi there,

I haven't used vinegar and bicarb with my washing before but I would like to start.

Is vinegar and bicarb soda okay to use with pre-folds, covers and AIOs? Do these products affect the elastic of covers and AIOs?

Do you use both or just one product? How much do you use with a full load?

Thanks for your assistance.

I use bicarb, about 2tbs per wash to wash with and then 6 drops of teatree in the rinse topped up with a bit of water. Some of my nappies are up to their 4th year so it must be OK.
I don't generally use softener and vinegar is pretty acidic so personally I wouldn't use it for every wash.

Thanks Kim. 4 years sounds like good going.
