    OMG help nappy disaster

    hmmm, are they a tad pink?

    I hope you have a girl using them.

    Mine returned to normal colour after about 20 odd washes. I'm not sure if I'd try using a dye remover on them

    Just wondering if you have had any luck removing the dye from your MCNs? Have they faded at all?

    Hi there. Try soaking them in really salty water with a little nappysan added. I have found really salty water gets and runs of colours out of clothes AND also any stains which dont come out with just nappysan. Dont need the expensive salt, just plain ol' salt make sure you put it in hot water first to dissolve it and put clothes in when cooled down. Should get most of the colour out for you!! (may need to re soak them again depending on just how much red is in there!!)

    erg, I did that a few weeks back. Threw in a dress I swear I had washed a thousand times before and whaddayaknow.....brown on everything!
    It has faded with sun and washing. So much so that you can't even notice it now a few weeks later.

    ETA just read one of the last replies. Mum22, you might be talking about flat nappies yeah? Don't use napisan though, no matter how desperate. The sun is much better.
    Alligater if all else fades, send em up here to me in the desert...the sun's quite fierce with stains up here lol.
