Hey, the fun of poops and they continue to evolve like a new species!

Baby mio do a cleaning product you add to the normal wash. Worth a try. :-)

Someone in answer to another question said to hang them outside in the sunlight and they bleach back to white after washing of course.

I do mine on a 40 degree stain remove setting on my washer using regular non bio powder. Agree with the comment about sunlight, works a treat and kills the bacteria too!

I've not tried it myself but a friend recommended a product called Napisan I think? It's a non bio stain remover.

Thanks for all the suggestions :-)

I think I've read somewhere that napisan isn't good for reusable nappies but not sure why... I rinse really pooey ones in the flush of the toilet, then wash on 40 degrees (plus now and again on 60) with any non bio powder. Yes and hang them in the sunlight if you still have curry like stains! We've just started on solids and it's actually getting easier as it tends to just plop into the toilet and stain the nappy itself much less (hope that's not too much info!!)
