Back To Care Instructions

    • Inserts consisting of natural fibers, such as Hemp/bamboo/cotton, require pre-washing before use, to increase absorbency and allow the fibres to release any natural oils. This takes a minimum of 4-6 washes.

    • Simply wash inserts in a normal cycle 3 - 5 times in a Cold-Warm or Max 60 degrees wash. (Detergent needed for first cycle only). Don’t dry in between washes. Once washed, remove from machine and stretch all inserts to maximum shape- pulling out ends and pulling out gusset flaps. Allow to completely dry before ready for use.

    • Slight shrinkage with the natural fibre inserts may occur, however they will shrink to correct length needed for the shell snap sockets. Once washed, remove inserts from machine and stretch all inserts to maximum shape- pulling out ends and pulling out gusset flaps. To avoid excess shrinkage, avoid tumble drying unless for a final dry on lowest setting and low spin.

    1. Shake off/use toilet paper to remove any waste off of inserts. For heavy urination/soiling, hand rinse inserts under laundry tap. Agitate with a laundry soap bar to avoid stains setting. Store in a dry bucket until next wash cycle.

    2. PRE-WASH- 30-45 minute rinse cycle. Max 30 degrees. 1/2 recommended dose detergent for your machine.

    3. MAIN WASH- 1-2 hour heavy cycle. Max 60 degrees. PUL items such as nappy covers max 30 degrees. Use recommended dose of detergent for your load size. You may add general household laundry in this wash phase.

    4. DRYING INSERTS/BOOSTERS- Direct sunlight/air dry/ tumble dry on delicate.

    5. DRYING NAPPY SHELLS- Shade dry ONLY, keeping patterned side away from direct sunlight.

    • Do not use any detergents containing fabric softeners, optical brighteners or chlorine bleach as these can break down natural fibers or can leave residue on the insert and reduce absorption. Using these products will VOID your warranty.

    • Do not use nappy balms or creams containing zinc or petroleum unless using a reusable/disposable liner, as these balms will result in residue sticking to the inserts and will reduce absorption.

    • Long term use of higher temperatures on PUL can decrease lifespan and will VOID your warranty.

    • Industry standards recommend avoiding highly perfumed or acidic detergents containing citrus or phosphates.

    • Line hanging: Avoid too much stress on the leg elastics when drying the shell. Recommended is draping the nappy shell horizontally over the line.

    • Wash soiled nappies within 48 hours.
