Little Lamb nappies....Very hard after drying.

[GoodGollyMissMolly]

I have the little lamb cotton nappies and they are wonderful in every way, except they seem to be quite hard (and kinda crisy, IYSWIM) after they have been dried.
I wash and dry them as the care instuctions say to. They go on a clothes horse around a radiator, so not on direct heat.
I have tried using extra fabric conditioner but it doesn't seem to make it any better. I have tried using soapnuts in the wash also, and although they seem a little better, not loads, and still very hard.

Does anyone know what I can do to get them soft again?

AHHHRGH

you use FABRIC CONDITIONER on your nappies???? STOP!!!!!

never ever ever use fab cond on nappies- it stops them being absorbant, leaves a layer of waxy crap on the fibres and contributes to nappy rash and sometimes thrush!

vinegar- now thats the best way of softening nappies- or hanging them out int he rain, then a blast in the tumble drier will soften them brilliantly

OMG, Preggersagain, I didn't know!! Thanks for that.

I read the care instuctions once and now I cant find what "I have done with them, probably put them somewhere safe and now I have forgotten.

Well, luckily she doesn't have nappy rash, so I will stop using the fabric conditioner.

Vinegar.........really............Where do I put it? in the fabric conditioner drawer??

yep use vinegar INSTEAD of fab cond- you need to do a fair few washes to get rid of any build up though as it will affect the absorbancy- give flame a call and she will explain in more detail- i've got baby brain and a having difficulty remembering my own name!

Lol, I'm the same with the baby brain, I'm suprised I'm able to remember to get dressed in the morning!!!!!

Thanks again for your advice.

lol @ give Flame a call! I had 2 calls for advice today and was useless with both
