Hi ladies, can I get some advice please. DS1 is 20 mnths, he's in the old style motherease nappies with boosters and I'm using the Motherease wraps (I confess I got them very, very cheap ). DS2 is 12 days and destined for the tiny prefolds as soon as his cord is completely healed. I love all the gorgeous nappies that you can get, but just can't justify buying any more at the moment. I've got 20 ME, 20 flat and 20 tiny prefolds.
So my question is this!! What are you washing your nappies in? I am currently washing just the nappies on a prewash with a dash of white vinegar because I was told this would get rid of the amonia smell and then running them through a normal wash at 60 degrees with washing powder and a few drops of lavendar in the softener draw.
I've been doing this since May and they have been fine - all of a sudden they smell really chemically.
I have washed them through on a 95 wash just with washing powder and after that they seemed ok just got them out of the machine and they stink. Have I been given bad advice on the vinegar?
Is there anything I could be doing differently?
Please, please tell me what I should be doing.
TIA
