Washing and caring for MCNs....

[~kellie~]

Hi Tan - I'm also a newbie, so what everyone has suggested already sounds pretty good.

One thing I use which I dont think has been mentioned, as I dont have a little squirt (yet), when we have a yuk poo, I bought a cheap egg flipper thing which I use to scrape the poo off onto a bit of toilet paper, and then that goes down the toilet

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but applix is the velcro tabs on some nappies.

PURPLE MAMA - you have all bases covered, but VINEGAR is to be used very sparingly, and not very often on MCN. i forget if it's the elastic or the PUL that it messes up, but i would encourage you to STOP using the vinegar as often as you are using it.

you will invalidate your MCN warranties also, many brands say in the warranty NOT to wash with vinegar.


APLIX is the industrial version of VELCRO.

unlike VELCRO, APLIX is engineered to withstand repeated washings, like MCN get.

when you go to buy APLIX, you will also come across TOUCH TAPE, and HI TECH 2000, and also HOOK AND LOOK.

at spotlight, you are most likely to encounter VELCRO

to buy APLIX and the other types, you go to the MCN making sites e.g nappiescovered, nappyworks, tiny toosh, wrigglebots, fairyfabrics, bubba earth.
