How (and why) to Strip Wash - Page 7

Snuffy · Apr 9th, 2012, 16:37 PM

Rachel_C - I have recently created a Facebook group for a small group of friends to talk about cloth bums as apparently mutual friends found it annoying on the main feed

The talk has turned to strip washing today and I have tried to link this thread but Facebook won't let me - would you mind if I copy and paste your OP into a document?

Of course not. I'm actually working on my cloth nappy blog at the moment too, so it'll be on there in a few days as well

Wonderful thread. Bookmarking for sure.

My HE washer drains out excess water immediately, so I won't be able to pour water in on top of the diapers. Do you think that the wet towel will be enough?

I think a wet towel would be fine and was recommended to me by bumGenius amongst others, so it must be an ok way for those with US HE machines.

I'd pay the most attention to the rinses before and after though, that's the really important bit.

Thanks so much Rachel! You have taken the time to answer all my questions and I really appreciate it.

Help!

I have striped washed using the dishwasher. Method and full dose method with rince all day and my real easy nappies stink of pee still would soaking them in smart nappy sanitizer help? I am planing on changing to either eco balls or eco eggs to stop this happening

I'm not sure tbh. I normally steer clear of stuff like that but you may as well try! I would probably just do the washing up liquid method if you don't have too many of them.

Only got 3 of them so will give the washing up liquid a go
