How many nappies can I get in a 8kg machine

... and still get them washed properly. They are fluffle type things, i think the material is called microfleece or microterry? , got 23 in the other day and they seemed to come out okay.
Trying to balance being ecofriendly but not being a minger lol.

I have a 7kg machine and usually put in about 10 -12. They are MEOS with usual paraphanalia of fleece liners, wraps, night boosters, washable wipes, and the cotton sack they live in before washing. I find more than that and they are a bit pongy when they come out. But I only wash at 30 with no prewash.

ooh sounds like I'm expecting a bit much , btw i rinse mine first and wash on 40, they are okay so far but I've heard the microfleece stuff can be prone to ponging more than cotton.

a while back i was cleraing out the aoring cupbaord and rewashing everything at 60

we had a 7kg machine and i waqs weighing the sheets / towels etc into 7kg piles...

there was no way that i could even fit 7kg of stuff into the drum... 2/3 at the most, so maybe 4 or 5 kg, and that was jammed full.

so i reckon as long as they fit in the machine and have a bit of space to move around, you will not be overloading your machine, and your machine is designed to wash that amount at once!
