Ladies, would you mind helping me with some of my questions.
1) When is it too early to start washing the babies clothes (collecting dust etc)?
2) When doing towels/facewashers/terry flats did you use cold, warm or hot water?
3) How many washes to get the towels nice and fluffy?
4) Did u use cold/warm/hot water for the babies clothes or did you follow the instructions (lol)?
I have lux flakes, amolin and purity liquid.
Thanks in advance.
I washed all of thebaby stuff about a week before my due date, I still went 1 week over so it was 2 weeks before she wore it.
I cannot use softener on baby stuff (Maddy's skin went funny when I did) So I just dont use it, I use Amolin or this other stuff i was given but has since run out. So now I use about 1 teaspoon of Amolin in with nappies, clothes etc...
I put everything needing a wah into nappy bucket & do it all together! I use cold water...
I wouldn't wash any of the bubs stuff till well into the 3 trimester.. we only washed the towels and stuff once and they were fine. We used Amolin fore the first 6 or so months. We washed in warm water unless there was lots of vomit, then we washed in hot. I have always washed in warm for the clothes first off and have had nothing run.
I just wash clothes in with mine (cold wash with ordinary front-loader detergent - I was going to get Lux flakes but they're not suitable for front loading washing machines). Towels I wash separately (or with sheets) but same wash style as clothes. I don't mind if they're not really fluffy though so you might not want to do the same as me on those :) I use hemp terry prefolds and wash them separately in extremely hot water.
All our washing gets done in cold water, and using Amolin.
I tried the purity one, but DH didn't like it and it left some of the clothes dirty.
