Laundry

Good nappy laundry habits are what keep your reusable routine running smoothly. Get the basics right and your nappies come out of the wash fresh and ready for the next change without any fuss. It really doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

 

Getting Your Nappy Laundry Right

Wash your reusable nappies at 40°C with a non-biological detergent, never fabric softener as it reduces absorbency over time. Store used nappies in your Stay at Home Wet Bag for up to three days before washing, then tip the contents straight into the drum.

 

Our Bright & Mighty Laundry range is designed specifically for nappy laundry. Add your favourite non-bio detergent to boost every wash and keep things fresh. For stains that need a bit more attention before they go in the machine, the Stain Bar is a handy thing to keep by the changing table.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best laundry detergent for reusable nappies is a non-biological detergent, free from fabric softeners and optical brighteners. 

Reusable nappies should be washed at 40°C with a non-biological detergent. A wash above 60°C can damage the waterproof outer and affect nappy performance, so 40°C is the recommended temperature for a thorough, safe clean.

Nappy laundry cleanser is a laundry booster added to your regular detergent wash to tackle stains and odours in reusable nappies. It can also be used to strip wash nappies when the build-up of detergent or ammonia is affecting their absorbency.

No. Fabric softener should never be used on reusable nappies as it coats the fibres and reduces their absorbency over time. Stick to a non-biological detergent and a dedicated nappy laundry cleanser for the best results.

Reusable nappies should be washed every two to three days. Leaving nappies stored for longer than three days can cause ammonia to build up in the fabric, which may affect performance and longevity.
