Stripping!

[Mervs Mum]

How often do you strip ??

(dont go there Jac please.....)

 

[Rach28]

Ive done it once in the last 11 weeks of using fluff - when the inserts were starting to smell funny once Noah had wet them

Every night

 

[Arcanegirl]

Ive done it 3 times in the 10 months weve been using fluff

 

[Mervs Mum]

Thanks girls you find it makes a difference? How do you do it? (again....shut it Jac.... )

 

[littlestar]

full dose of detergent - hot wash and keep rinsing.

i've done it twice in 7 months of fluff.

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I was wondering this too xx

 

[Mervs Mum]

when you say 'detergent' do you mean like biological washing powder?

 

[Arcanegirl]

Same as Littlestar, and detergent is jsut whatever you normally use to wash your nappies with

 

[littlestar]

Oh gosh yes! Makes a hell of a difference....get nowt if you dont strip

I start by having a few vodka's for dutch courage...

 

[Mervs Mum]

I use soap nuts....they dont get mega 'sudsy' so would you add some powder in that case....

Sorry to crash a useful thread with yet ANOTHER question, but what is stripping? Is this something I'll need to do once all my nappies arrive? (PS. Hurry up postie!!!! )

 

[Arcanegirl]

If you use soapnuts, then you shouldnt need to strip wash as theres no detergent build up.

Stripping is to remove detergent buildup that can affect the absorbency of your nappies.
You wont need to do one right away but you will need to prewash.

 

[Mervs Mum]

I wish I'd read your reply AG before I started my first load of stripping.....

 

[Arcanegirl]

Whops!

 

[Mervs Mum]

It wont harm them to have it done once in a while anyway?

 

[Hayley90]

ok..another newbie hijacking... but what are soapnuts, and are they better than fairy powder? x
