It is VERY important that you prewash your nappies before you use them. If you don't prewash them, they will not be absorbent enough and they will leak.
We recommend that you prewash them twice before use. This can be done at 30/40oC and you only need a tiny bit of detergent. There is no need to dry the nappies inbetween the two prewashes.
The nappies will reach their full absorbency after approximately 5 washes but 2 prewashes is enough to get started.
You need to prewash all absorbent parts of your nappy system. The absorbent parts include, nappies, boosters, fleece liners, and muslins. You do not need to prewash the wraps.
For more information on caring for you nappies please see our video demonstration which covers storage, washing and drying your nappies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48jf0gZdbPw
