Care of Wonderoos by

Caring for your nappies is easy, but there are a few do's and don't to maintain their condition.

1. Take off a wet nappy and remove the insert and put it into your dry nappy bucket with the nappy. If the nappy is soiled stretch the fleece and shake any solids into the toilet. Most should just drop into the toilet - if there is still a lot of soiling on the nappy you will find this will rinse off by putting the washing machine through a pre-wash rinse cycle. If you would rather clean further before putting into the machine you can rinse more poo off by flushing the loo whilst holding FIRMLY onto a corner. Put the nappy and insert into your dry nappy bucket.

2. On wash day it is recommended that you run your nappies through a cold rinse cycle in your machine before washing.

3. Wash using a 40ºC or 60ºC wash cycle and rinse. Use only 1/2 the recommended amount of non-biological detergent to prevent build up of detergent on the fabric. There is no need to soak the nappies and they will last better if you don't. There is no need to hot wash them.

4. Ideally hang your Wonderoos to dry outside (weather permitting or course!) or inside in a warm place but NOT directly on a radiator etc. They will dry in a few hours. You can tumble dry your Wonderoos if you need them quickly, but use the lowest heat setting to maintain their condition.

5. To make Wonderoos even easier to use store them snapped down into the desired position and ready-stuffed with an insert.

A few DON'Ts
Caring for your Wonderoos properly will keep them looking and performing their best. Below is a list of things that can harm your nappies and result in leaks.

• Don't use a nappy barrier or balm cream with these nappies- it will leave a greasy residue on the stay dry inner which is very difficult to remove. If you want to use a cream because of severe nappy rash use our thick nappy liners to prevent cream getting onto the nappy or switch to a different nappy system to preserve your pocket nappies.
• Don't use any bleach products. Chlorine bleach is a strong chemical and will break down the fibre in your nappies. If you have stains, hang your nappies in the sun, it works wonders! Failing this, use a little spot on stain remover prior to washing.
• Don't use fabric softener. It will coat the fabrics, making them water repellent and will cause leaks! Be aware that if you use dryer sheets in your dryer for other laundry this can coat your dryer and transfer to your nappies. If you encounter leaks, try hang drying instead.
• Don't wash or dry on HOT or HIGH HEAT!
  The PUL layer (waterproof outer) is meant for low heat only! Preserve the life of your nappies by following this recommendation.
• Don't use tea tree oil in the laundry with Wonderoos. It may coat the nappy fibes and cause them to repel liquid.
