Which detergent should I use?

Which chemicals should I avoid?

Using wrong detergents may shorten the lifespan of your nappy and will affect your guarantee. Always use non-bio detergents and check the ingredients

1. Never use biological detergents, fabric softeners or dryer sheets, bleaching agents, enzymes or brighteners on your Pop-ins (*most soaking solutions contain one or more of these).
2. Avoid using products containing vinegar or high quantities of citric acid or bi-carbonate of soda (this is mainly important for bamboo nappies).
3. Only use 3/4 of the recommended washing detergent when washing to avoid high product build-up. We’ve tried lots of different detergents and we love the Eco-egg. One Eco-egg will last the lifetime of your nappies (Click here to find out more).
   

How can I treat stains and keep my nappy smelling fresh?

Most stain removers contain optical brighteners and bleaching agents: which are not good for your nappies.

A cold rinse before every wash help keeps nappies fresh and prevents stains from setting. If your nappies do become stained try rubbing your usual non-bio liquid into the nappy or you can try the Eco stain remover. If possible let your pop-ins dry outside as the sun will help bleach the stain, even in winter.

How many Pop-ins per load ? 

Make sure your Pop-ins have plenty of room when washing…

15 nappies is the maximum recommended load depending on your drum size….

Can I tumble dry my Pop-ins?

Never tumble your outershell or leave it in contact with direct heat (such as a hot radiator) for extended periods.

You can only tumble dry the inner parts, so separate the soaker and booster from the outershell and tumble dry on a low heat for just 10mins. It help revitalise the fibres keeping them nice and soft. We only recommend tumble drying infrequently to maximise the lifespan of the product.
