Good strip wash for all nappy types

[Loopy Linda]

hi,

well just thinking i have had my cloth nappies a few months now and maybe i should do a strip wash on them.

what is the best method to do this?

most of my nappies are AI1. mainly PUL waterproofing. mainly bamboo or microfibre boosting/lining. a few flannellette lining.

suggestions please

Why do you think you need a strip wash? My DD is 27mths and I've never done one.

No astrip wash is only something to be used if your nappies start to repel - ie the water beads on the inners and just runs off, it's mainly in my experience something that happens with microfleece/suedecloth inners.

If your washing routine is correct, you shouldn't have to do them very often or at all. In nearly 4 years of MCN, I've only done one.

Hope that helps.
