Dear Ms Easy Web.
I suppose I could have done a google search but I have a billion things to do and must get off my butt and do them soon. My question is this: I use White Vinegar in my wash in place of fabric softner. Any ideas if its ok if I also use it in the Nappy wash too? I am using a mixture of cloth nappies. ------------- Captain Chaos (5) & the Trouble Monsters (2!)

Dear Emiloly
White vinegar in a nappy wash is absolutely fine, according to my googles. Of course, I may be corrected, but it doesn't seem to have harmed mine. Regards Ms. Easy Web  -------------  http://lilypie.com"> |

i've used vinegar in my nappy wash right from the beginning with no issues -- just make sure your washing powder doesn't have any baking soda in it cause the combination can seriously deteriorate natural fibres... ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

 I had not thought of that. We are using Persil Sensitive, although I may decide to change it if some one suggest something better. I only use a wee bit, perhaps about two or three table spoons. ------------- Captain Chaos (5) & the Trouble Monsters (2!)
