Frequently asked questions
How often do I need to wash them?
We recommend washing every 2–3 days. This keeps everything fresh and makes your routine easy to stay on top of.
Do they smell?
When washed correctly, cloth nappies shouldn’t smell. A proper wash routine keeps them clean and fresh.
What if I do it wrong?
Don’t worry — cloth is very forgiving. Our simple routine is designed to work without overthinking it. And if you ever need help, we’re here.
Will stains come out?
Yes — most stains fade naturally, especially when dried in sunlight. Light staining is completely normal and doesn’t affect performance.
Why do they get more absorbent over time?
Our natural fabrics improve with each wash as the fibres open up, allowing them to hold more liquid. This means better performance the more you use them.
Can I use them straight away?
Yes — they’re ready to use from the first wash. Absorbency will continue to improve over time.
Can I use regular detergent?
Yes — a standard detergent works perfectly. Just avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce absorbency.
Can I tumble dry them?
Yes, on a low setting. For best results (and stain removal), we recommend line drying in the sun when possible.
