Firstly, because they can be used multiple times, they reduce the amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/what-is-fast-fashion-doing-to-the-environment\/\">single-use plastic <\/a>being used. In addition, because you don\u2019t have to constantly re-buy nappies, you can save yourself a significant amount of money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how you keep re-usable nappies clean and ready for multiple uses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>What are reusable nappies?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Are they as effective as single-use nappies?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>How to wash reusable cloth nappies<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">What are reusable nappies?\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reusable nappies are nappies that can be used multiple times. They are often made from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/the-right-way-to-care-for-cotton\/\">cotton<\/a>, and are made up of an absorbent inner layer that contains a washable or disposable liner, and a waterproof outer layer. You can buy them in a range of sizes to fit all babies, and with a range of fastenings so you can decide which is easiest for you. In addition to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-be-more-environmentally-conscious-when-doing-laundry\/\">environmental <\/a>and cost effective benefits of using reusable nappies, they are also chemical-free.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy.jpg?resize=1024%2C577&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy.jpg?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy.jpg?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy.jpg?resize=291%2C164&amp;ssl=1 291w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy.jpg?w=1278&amp;ssl=1 1278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Are they as effective as single-use nappies?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reusable nappies are just as effective as single-use nappies. Before you use one it is advised to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-wash-a-bath-mat\/\">wash <\/a>it so that the material becomes as absorbent as possible. Once you have done this you should not experience any difficulties with absorbency.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are experiencing leaking it could be due to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/choosing-the-right-laundry-detergent\/\">detergent <\/a>build-up, a poor fit, or a damaged PUL, which can happen if the nappy is dried at too high a heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy-2.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nappy-2.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/ReadyElements-8569947\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=3509508\">Mahesh Patel<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=3509508\">Pixabay<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">How to wash reusable nappies\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Begin by lifting the nappy liner out of the nappy. If you are using reusable nappy liners, shake any loose waste into the toilet. If you are using a disposable liner, dispose of it in the appropriate bin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the liner has been taken care of, place your nappy in a nappy bin, or any container with a tight-fitting lid. It\u2019s always best to place a mesh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/5-ways-to-make-laundry-easier\/\">laundry bag<\/a> inside your container so that when it is full you don&#8217;t have to handle the individual nappies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you have enough reusable nappies for a wash load, place them into your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/5-signs-you-need-to-replace-your-washing-machine\/\">washing machine <\/a>with a cap of non-bio powder. Avoid using liquid detergent and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/when-should-you-use-fabric-softener\/\"> fabric softener<\/a> as they can affect the absorbency of the material. Set your washing machine to 60 degrees to ensure that all the bacteria from the nappies is disposed of. Some antibacterial washing powders can clean in temperatures as low as 30 degrees, however, unless stated on the box, it\u2019s best to wash your nappies at 60 degrees.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your machine has finished, you can dry your nappies. It\u2019s best to dry them in direct sunlight, however, if this is not achievable, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/air-dry-vs-tumble-dry\/\">tumble dry<\/a> them on a low heat setting, or leave them on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/hacks-for-drying-clothes\/\">drying rack<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reusable nappies need to be washed frequently, but, if you adequately care for them, they can last a lifetime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drying-nappies.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drying-nappies.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drying-nappies.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drying-nappies.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drying-nappies.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drying-nappies.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drying-nappies.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/drying-nappies.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/136888743@N07\/\">Hannah Spray<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst you look after the reusable nappies, we\u2019ll look after you.
