FLEECE WRAPS- DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH

[loopylou49]

Have just rec'd my fleece wrap. Do you need to wash before use??

Yes, gets rid of any gunk from manufacturing/dying process and also makes it more absorbent.

thanks-will have to use tomorrow!!

what did you get?!?!?!

Red tots bots-it was the only one the lady here had- was so desperate for one!! not a wacky - which is what i'm really wanting- but will probably order one of them this week-end- starting to feel abit guilty about little bits of money here and there I keep spending

loopylou49, here is a number to phone tots bots direct, ask if they have any seconds, they are 23% cheeper.

sorry long day with not a lot of sleep.

thanks littlepiggy- will do that in future- will have to get myself a little notebook to write all these tips in!!!

i am a new convert as well, first lot of fleece wraps coming tomorrow (so she said).
I cant stop looking at all the nappies and wraps, there soooooooooooooooooooo cute (didnt think i could say that about nappies.

If it's a red fleece wash it in with other red stuff (or colour wash) at 40, as the dye does leak at first. It's better not to wash fleece wraps with nappies as the fluff from the towelling coats the fleece abit and ruins the look of them.

Having said that a couple of washes with something else the same colour soon solves that

I was just coming on to say the same about washing it with reds to start with! I was assured that it wouldn't run, and my DS had pink tinged nappies for ages til it washed out properly!

one step ahead of you- have washed it with my red outdoor chair covers- so killed 2 birds with one stone!!
