Hi,
I'm using normal terri cloth squares + Bioliners(flushables). I'm stocked up on BICARB Soda, Cleaning Vinegar & Tea Tree Oil. What measurements or solutions do you find work best?

Do you mean for cleaning your nappies?
I only use a little bit of phosphate free detergent in the wash and sometimes about a tablespoon of vinegar in the rinse cycle.
I also put a splash of vinegar into a nappy bucket with water if I feel an extra pooey nappy needs a soak.

I have also used Borax to soak stains or a little in with the washing detergent and think that helps keep the stains at bay too.

Hope I'm on the right track for what you were after!

I use flats as well as MCN and find that dry-pailing them works great. Just in an empty bucket with a lid. I too look for natural products and don't want napisan or other chemicals being used in something that is against my bub's skin.

Then they have a warm/hot wash with 1/4 the recommended amount of washing liquid.

The UV rays do the rest- whiten and disinfect :thumbsup: Yay for sunshine!
