Nettie - be very careful using even a reduced amount of Lux in a front loader. They get more sudsy than top loaders and can overflow easily. I use Amolin in my front loader and its great for bubbies' clothes and especially for MCNs (half strength).

I washed all of DD#1's clothes about 34 weeks and ironed EVERYTHING. This time around I've washed the 0000s and 000s (about 33 weeks) and will this week wash cot and cradle linen. Not going so crazy this time and ironing though - what was I thinking with DD#1 ????

I try to line dry, especially cloth nappies. The sun gets rid of stains beautifully and everything smells so much nicer.
