in Old style MoneySaving
I have been given some reusable nappies by a very kind freecycler they are quite old and they are the shaped terry type with plastic wraps.

Can someone please advise me the best way to bring these up as white as i can again ( Old style of course )some of them are stained and the plastic wraps are off colour aswell ive tried washing on high and soaking in washing powder but it hasnt made any difference.

Thanks Lisa
bitter...lol

    Vanish oxy action should help with the cloth bits.

    Stained or discoloured plastic is usually not amenable to restoring to its former glory, sorry.

    Maybe you could use these ones "alone at home" and just grab a few new ones for posh days out or when you're showing off your youngling to visitors :)

    Eek! I'd forgotten all about that stuff! It's been a long time since I had to deal with nappies.

    That's my excuse - and I'm sticking to it :p:)
