A little bit of washing saves a lot of trash! Easy to wash, easy to dry, easy to see why Kiwi Babies Love ‘em!

Instructions

  • Pocket Nappy – Slip absorbent insert into nappy pocket. One or two microfibre inserts, for 2 hours approx, or one hemp insert and one microfibre insert for 4 hours approx, or one bamboo insert and one microfibre insert for over night, 12 hours approx. This is only a guide as some babies drink more liquid than others.
  • Your nappy will perform best with good absorbent inserts.
  • To make life easier, use a liner next to the baby’s skin so solids can be easily removed.
  • Don’t use barrier creams unless using a disposable liner.

Washing and Drying

  • Remove insert before washing nappy.
  • Fold and fasten Velcro tabs back on themselves to avoid gathering lint during wash.
  • Scrape off any solid matter into toilet.
  • Soak nappy and liner in warm soapy water in the tub or in a bucket, until you have 6 or 8 nappies. Tip off water and put through full cycle in washing machine.
  • Soap Nuts have been very popular recently. There can be a build up of residue after long period of use as the nuts stay in for the rinse cycle. An extra rinse or removing the nuts before the rinse cycle might help.
  • Don’t use fabric softeners or bleach. The microfleece will not perform if there’s a residue on the fleece.
  • After soaking, wash as normal using a small amount of soap powder suitable for baby clothing. You don’t need any expensive labels.
  • Hemp has natural oils that wash out over 6 washes. You will notice it absorbs better as time goes on, but use it between washes. Bamboo Towelling doesn’t need lots of washing as it doesn’t have the oils in the fibre.
  • Inserts can be tumble dried but PUL nappies will last longer if you line dry. They dry quickly on clothes rack. Sun dry for maximum sanitizing and stain removal.
  • If your hemp and bamboo inserts become stiff from regular washing, use baking soda as a fabric softener.
  • Don’t use white vinegar on your PUL nappies. It will break down the waterproofing over time. Baking soda in the rinse cycle is fine.
