FAQ about washing Wonderoos
Q: Do I need to wash the nappy and insert before use?
A: Yes, you will need to wash the nappy once before use. The microterry inserts should also be washed once before use. Hemp inserts will need washing at least three times before use (to remove the natural oils from the fabric) and you won't get the best performance from them until they have been washed eight times or so. The hemp inserts also benefit from being tumble dried once prior to use if possible.
Q: Should I undo the height-adjusting poppers every time I wash?
A: No, you can wash your Wonderoos set at any height setting to save time.
Q Will I need any specially nappy soak or detergent?
No, choose a regular non-bio detergent which does not contain chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach will damage the fabric over time. To reduce your ecological impact why not choose a more eco-friendly detergent such as Ecover.
Q Should I soak or hot wash the nappies to sanitise them?
No, soaking the nappies is not necessary and may cause them to smell. Washing at 40ºC is sufficient for everyday homewashing sanitation, but if your baby has diarrhoea or nappy rash wash at 60ºC to ensure all bacteria are killed off.
Q Should I add fabric softener?
No, don't use fabric softener, dryer sheets or a two-in-one washing powder. It is not necessary and will coat the fabrics of the nappy, making them water repellent and causing leaks.
Q I haven't changed a real nappy before - how do I get the poo off the nappies?
The fleece lining of the nappy will release solid poo easily by stretching it over the toilet. The more liquid stools of a milk-fed baby can be just rinsed off in the machine. When baby is older and the nappy is heavily soiled you can rinse it in the toilet flush while holding firmly to one corner. Alternatively you can use a flushable liner inside the nappies to allow you to just drop let the liner and majority of the soiling in the toilet.
Q Can I dry my Wonderoos on the radiator?
No, drying in direct contact with high temperatures or tumble drying on hot will cause undue wear and tear on your nappies over time. Hang in a warm place such as near a radiator or boiler and if you tumble dry use a low heat.
Q: I have noticed that the nappies have started to smell unpleasant. What can I do?
A: Nappies should not smell unpleasant after a few hours on baby – if they do it is likely due to build up of detergent or inadequate cleansing/rinsing. To remedy this the nappies should be “stripped”: wash with the recommended amount of detergent for heavy soiling (ie more than usual), followed by a wash without detergent and rinse a couple of times or until the run-off is no longer soapy. This should solve the problem. If this is a recurrent problem try pre-washing the nappies with a generous cup of soda crystals before washing or doing an extra rinse after each wash.
Just in case you were wondering, do not iron your Wonderoos!
