After months of having washing draped over radiators during the winter, I love being able to hang out the washing now that Spring has arrived. This is especially good if you use real nappies as the sun helps bleach out any stains. My nappies are being used on baby No 2 and here are my tips on keeping them soft and smelling fresh.
- Every now and then add 1/2 cup of distilled vinegar to the final rinse cycle.
- Add a few drops of lavender oil in the fabric softener drawer to make them smell lovely.
- If nappies are hard and stiff after washing, add some bi-carbonate of soda in with the detergent to soften them up again.
- Every 6 months do a wash without any detergent. If you notice bubbles during the wash then detergent is still lingering in the nappies, which can be an irritant for your baby. Instead of powder use a tablespoon of soda crystals in your machine and continue to do this until the machine cycle runs clear.
