[TJ]

Hey there,

Is a bleech a no go thing with them as well??

I used lots of sunshine... but you're in a unit hey? Hopefully someone else can help you. :)

IME no amount of sunshine seems to help............sorry!! I'd love to hear if there are any other tips!

I've had a few microfibre boosters turn grey but I ended up throwing them out and buying more because they are cheap enough.

You could try a tablespoon of bicarb soda and juice from a whole lemon in your wash cycle then hang them out in the sun and see how that goes. If there are no results and since micro-boosters aren't worn next to bubs skin, then you could try bleaching them then wash them a fair few times after that. I would be a tad iffy about that though to be honest.

If all else fails then buy more and keep them in a big rotation so you don't use the same micro-booster every day or so. Lots of use will turn them grey. Oh and giving bubs medications and pain relievers like panadol. :yes:

You can bleach microfibre if you want. Won't damage it as a once off (not like it's PUlL or hemp, bamboo etc) Wouldn't reccommend doing it all the time though. And make sure you rinse well.

I bleached a couple of mine and they look like new again :)

mine were like that and i washed in hot for a few washe when ds was sick to make sure al germies were dead - the microfibre came out looking heaps better!

the sun doesnt really help with the greyness imo, just with stains :flowerz:

I might give them a go over with napisan first and see if that does the trick, if not i might try bleech.

I have tried the bicarb and lemon with no such luck. :)

thanks gals
