I only prewash then do a normal wash, didnt realise your supposed to rinse again after.

If you don't, you're likely to encounter issues with build up, even when using the absolute minimum amount of detergent.

since using Bold 2in1 my nappies are so much better :-) hardly use any and they come out really clean and don't smell any more plus I think they are more absorbent as I think they were a bit clogged up before plus I sometimes wash on 60

I use bold or fairy. Do a cold rinse (no spin first) then long cycle on 50 or 60 degrees with extra rinse, then another cold rinse or two after. I only use a tablespoon of powder (we have soft water here). I also have Homescents Clean and Fresh Nappy Sanitiser in Hemp and lemongrass which I got with some preloved nappies.
ETA Since using Bold and a higher temp Ive not had to do a strip wash!

I used persil,ariel or fairy but my nappies always had this horrible,horrible smell :/

so now i do rinse,long 60C or 40C wash and then rinse again without any detergent and nappies are back to being great again without any leaks or smell.

I use Morrisons own brand colour bio powder, 30mls (we have v hard water). Generally wash at 40 with the occasional 60, two additional rinses.
