Washing machines/powders/liquids questions

[onemummmy]

:o
Can you tell I have no idea?

Im wondering if there is much difference in top vs front loaders for cloth nappies? Is one better or gentler over the other? Can you wash modern cloth in front loaders?:confused: I dont want to damage them and I just read in another thread that some machines can stretch the nappies:eek:
Also, what is the best to use? Powder or liquid? Do I need a certain brand of powder or liquid? :o Thanks so much:thumbsup:

I dont know that there is a difference.

I have a top loader and it works fine, and i have friends with front loaders that have been fine.

I guess if u didnt pin back the valcro ones and they stuck together they could rap around the thing in the middle and streach them but i have never heard of it.

As for washing liquids/powder i used to use powders but changed to liquid no reason i just like liquide better but they both work the same, just make sure u only use a 1/4 of the normal amount.

I have heard a few girls say they use the earths choice liquid cause its enviro friendly and cheap. But there isnt any that dont work (that i know of)

Hey there,

I have a front loader and I find it's very gentle on clothes and nappies. I use earth choice liquid. They dont recomend you use washing powders with optical brighteners in them.
