    revitalising newborn stash?

    i lent my newborn stash to a friend and got them back again. I was planning to strip wash them, but they are also quite crunchy. I know they are not new and have had a bit of use but hoping i can make them a bit softer.

    there is a mix of fitteds and prefolds, and a few itti aios.

    Scrunch them like a stress ball - makes the world of difference.

    Short burst in the dryer with a tennis ball?

    Tumble dry?

    Mine are mostly microfleece so seem to stay soft, but this has worked on my non-nb MCNs.

    Yep, always low heat.

    Take them down almost dry and then just whizz them for ten mins or so.
