Real Nappy Week 2008
The theme for Real Nappy Week 2008 will be Combat Climate Change with Real Nappies, because using reusable nappies responsibly can have a positive impact in this respect. Using washable nappies, you have much more control over your climate impact than with disposables.
10 ways to reduce your impact:
- Use A rated appliances
- Wash nappies at 60 degrees in a full load
- Wet nappies and wraps can be washed at 40 degrees with other laundry
- Store used nappies in a dry lidded bucket – don't soak
- Use an eco washing detergent and don't use fabric softener
- Air dry rather than tumble dry
- Use washable liners (fleece or silk)
- Avoid PVC, try and use organic or unbleached products
- Never iron nappies or wraps
- Pass your nappies on when you have finished with them, or buy second hand items.
There are hundres of events planned across the UK where you can find out more about washable nappies.
