We have a number of top tips to ensure your real nappies stay in tip top condition...
- Do not boil wash - machine wash nappies and washable liners at 60°C.
- Machine wash covers (wraps) at 40°C.
- When purchasing laundry appliances, choose ones with a good energy rating to reduce energy and water consumption.
- Minimise tumble drying - line dry or use an airer.
- Don't use fabric conditioner - it is unnecessary and reduces absorbency.
- Use eco-friendly washing powders.
- Use organic and non-bleached products.
- Don't iron nappies.
- Use real nappies for more than one child.
- It is also possible to buy second-hand real nappies.
