We include washing instructions with every nappy purchase, but here is an outline.Start by rinsing any solid waste off the nappies into the toilet. Then, store the nappies in a dry pail until you're ready to wash them. When it's time to launder, run a pre-wash rinse cycle to remove any remaining solid waste and prevent stains from setting. Next, wash the nappies in a hot water cycle with a gentle, cloth-friendly detergent; remember you are washing heavily soiled clothes.
