Pokkelokkie`s recommendation for the best cleaning
The NURTURER detergent (50g / 5kg machine) and their Oxygen bleach (50g / 5kg ), available online (do not opt for their nappy wash product).
We have had the best results using this brand. The cleaning power is truely unbeatable.
It may appear pricier however it goes much further than store bought ones. 5kg will give you 100 washes (when using a 5kg machine and washing every 2 days).
The O2 bleach is added to the rinse cycle once a week as a deep cleaning agent to prevent build up (leave the nappy covers out for this rinse).
You can use the detergent for both nappies and clothes. It`s 100% natural and biodegradable, suitable for sensitive skin / eczema and a lovely product for household use. Leaves nappies and clothes feeling soft.
