Washing soiled clothes!

[Zzzzzzzzzzzzz]

So DD is 5 days into potty training, unfortunately this has coincided with a bit of a runny tummy…… Shes soiled her way through all of her clothes at nursery today (some wet, some more than wet). Key worker suggested we may just want to chuck them all away….. just wondered if this is really what people do?! Aside from the financial side and hassle of having to buy more clothes, surely this is terrible for the environment? Am I weird washing them (twice)?

It depends on how dirty it is. I often use Vanish and let the machine rinse a few extra times.
You can also soak it in the washing machine, by pausing the machine mid-cycle for a while.

I'd soak them in a bucket of warm water and vanish then wash them on their own. If that didn't get them clean I'd probably bin them, unless they were expensive or favorites in which case I'd try harder. I have thrown pooey pants away before but never a whole outfit. Good luck!

I'd just wash them the same as I wash my son's cloth nappies. Quick wash at 40c with a half dose of detergent and then a long wash at 60c with a full dose and some Vanish powder.

No! I never threw anything away. That is incredibly wasteful and completely unnecessary.

Scrape off any solids (although if nursery haven't done this then you need to speak to them because that is just lazy) and soak in a bucket. Chuck them in the wash at your usual 40c/50c and wash as normal.
