Washing & Care Instructions for Cloth Nappies
There is, sadly, still the belief that washing real nappies is a major chore. For past generations washing cloth nappies tended to mean soaking in bleach, boiling on the hob and lines of nappies on the line.
Well things have changed! There's no getting away from the fact that reusable nappies need to be washed but it's considerably easier than you might imagine and you will, very quickly, get into a routine. Many of the nappies on our website have laundry instructions detailed on their relevent web pages but here's more general advice on how to look after your nappies.
