Washing machine nightmare ... help please!!!
My lovely washable nappies arrived today...hurray J immediately shoved the four extra hemp boosters I?d ordered in the wash with no powder on a 60 degree wash as I?d read you had to wash them a few times before they absorbed properly. My washing machine is now broken and won't drain...completely blocked up with nasty hemp fluff...anyone else had same problem or any advice?

What sort of machine is it.

Mine has a filter you ca pull out and unblock. It has a little hose to drain machine. Get a big bowl and some towels ready.

Really??? How strange!

Never had much fluff from hemp. Are you sure that is why it won't drain? Like Mehgalegs says, if it really is blocked up then you should be able to remove the filter (many bowls and towels will be needed if the machine is full though - possibly snorkel too !).

btw, ideally need to prewash with a bit of powder and 40C would do.
