Care
- Wash your nappies a few times prior to use to increase the absorbency of the towelling. NB. Bamboozles need 10 washes to get them to full absorbency but if you really can’t wait, you can use them after a couple of washes.
- No need to soak your nappies prior to washing. Modern powders will get them clean anyway.
- Wash your nappies/covers at 40 or 60 depending on the wash care label in non-bio (2 tablespoons is enough to get your nappies clean) – use a laundry mesh for added convenience.
- Don’t use fabric softeners as this leaves a residue and decreases the absorbency of the towelling.
- Don’t use bleach or other harsh stain removers, as they will shorten the lifespan of your nappies and will void your guarantee.
- You can tumble dry the nappies on a cool setting if needed but we recommend line drying wherever possible.
- Bicarbonate of soda and any acid (ie. Vinegar) when heated in solution corrodes cotton and bamboo fibres. Whilst a lot of sites etc. recommend using them to sanitise and soften nappies they will drastically shorten their lifespan.
- We recommend using non biological powders as they are better for both baby and the environment. There is also an enzyme present in some bio detergents called cellulase which is corrosive to bamboo fibre and cotton.
- Barrier creams such as Sudocrem can coat the fibres in your nappy reducing their absorbency. When using a barrier cream you must always use a liner.
