Hemp Insert

Use small amount of soap powder that is bleach free, softener free and enzyme free.

Wash them 3 times in hot water (Go through wash-dry-wash-dry-wash-dry cycle)

In the first wash, simply use half a scoop of detergent. In the second and third washes no detergent is required.

Dry your nappies. They are fine to use in tumble dryers. Please use cool or warm cycle only. The hot cycle is not recommended as it will wear out your diaper quicker. Line drying is best for our environment.

Why so you need to do this?

These natural fabrics contain lots of natural oils, so it will take several washings before they reach maximum absorbency. Hemp/Bamboo is very absorbent and will continue to get more absorbent with each washing. After the initial 3 washings, hemp can be washed in with your other diaper laundry. Hemp/bamboo inserts don’t reach their full absorbency until their 12 wash! Obviously you can start using your inserts after just a couple of pre-washes but these inserts will get more absorbent over time.

For subsequent washing:

use soap powder that is bleach free, softener free and enzyme free..
You can use washing machine to wash, rinse and tumble dry too (BUT no HOT TUMBLE DRY)
