Clean cloth nappies is essential to ensure hygiene and maintain their effectiveness. Start by storing soiled nappies in a dry pail or wet bag until wash day, ensuring good airflow to minimize odors. Begin the cleaning process with a cold rinse to remove solids and prevent stains from setting. Follow up with a warm or hot wash using a quality detergent that is free from additives and fragrances. An additional rinse cycle helps to thoroughly remove detergent residues. Finally, line drying is recommended whenever possible to preserve fabrics and reduce energy consumption, though a low heat tumble dry is also suitable. Regular maintenance like sunning for stain removal and avoiding fabric softeners will help keep cloth nappies fresh and absorbent, ensuring they remain a sustainable and comfortable choice for your baby.
