Real Nappy Tips

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.
