Washing comforters

[berri]

My DS has 3 cream Cuski comforters which go through the wash with everything else (luckily!) but they are now a nasty shade of grey/cream/brown as I wash everything on 30!

I'm tempted to chuck them in a bleach solution but seeing as he spends all night chewing it, I'm really reluctant to do this in case it's still in the fabric somehow.

Any other ideas? Or shall I bleach but just rinse it to death afterwards to be sure?

Soak, scrub by hand, rinse well and then chuck in the wash!

Oh and pray that your child doesn't suddenly decide that only one of the 3 identical comforters is the right one and refuse the others! So hard to get ds to agree to wash his now!

Thank you - soak in bleach you mean?

I think I should do them all at once! Luckily he's used to me grabbing them for the wash now - if I didn't they'd be super-stinky!

No not in bleach, just in your usual powder, or soap flakes are nice and mild and good for handwashing

Oooh ok ta - will give it a go

I know you said you do everything at 30, but couldn't you just do a one off hot wash for them to just give them a really good clean? We don't use hot washes much but do for this sort of thing.

And also - if you hang them out in the sun to dry, the sun works like a natural bleach - gets whites white again! (also gets poo stains out of cloth nappies so should work well!).

I would do a hot wash as a one off, dd's co,forters get a 50 quick wash as they are normally covered in snot, food, etc and inwant all the nasties dead!
Agree with washing line aswell, works onnappies!

I'm thinking you should soak them in milton sterilising solution,if you don't want to use bleach.
