wow, that got replies fast! Just got the nappies out of the washer, look great and no soaking! we are actually getting a new washing machine tomorrow, a front loader which wash so much more effectively than the top loaders, so will be even better for tough stains.

here's my method. remove soiled liners and rinse off any excess poo, put nappies straight into empty nappy bucket when bucket is full empty into washing machine, add two caps of napisan if there are any stubborn poo stains (i didnt add any to this wash, and poo marks still came out) and wash on soak cycle. then i dry them in the drier because it makes them nice and fluffy.

i read that if you have a newer washing machine, there is really no need to pre-soak the nappies in the buckets especially if it is a front loader because they are so much more effective in washing than the older ones of our parents times.

I LOVE JACKSON'S LIL CLOTH BUM!
