Can we prevent pilling?
Hi ladies. Im sort of new to MCN and am starting to slowly building up my stash. I've been naughty and just reading everyone's posts for the past few days and i have gotten such great tips from you all. Anyway so i thought it was about time that i starting posting! Anyway back to my question.....I was just wondering if there is anyway we can prevent pilling (sp)? I have quite a few peapods and some other WAHM nappies which are starting to look pilled. I want to keep my nappies in good condition so if you'se have any tips id really appreciate it!! Thanks

Re: Can we prevent pilling?
do you mean the actual fleece pilling or collecting pills/lint??
i haven't really noticed the fabric pilling, most nappies have microfleece which wears quite well (not like cheap polar fleece)... the only way to stop getting lint on fleece is by washing them seperately to stuff that drops lint, or being maticulous in using hoisery bags. oh and welcome to nc! would be great if you could pop over and give us an intro in the 'getting to know you forum'

Re: Can we prevent pilling?
Welcome to NC. And yep, what Joh said. I actually don't bother with the lint collecting on nappies. Though a few that I have onsold, I did brush with a lint brush to get rid of the lint.
And yeah, the only nappies that actually pilled are the ones with polar fleece on them - and they were really old (like 2 years old) nappies anyway. Most nappies these days use anti-pill microfleece. Good quality suedecloth doesn't pill either.

Re: Can we prevent pilling?
I have a little lint shaver, battery powered and just go over my nappies every now and again to make them lint free again.

I use a hoisery bag for my fleece nappies, it has definitely kept them looking brand new

Re: Can we prevent pilling?
I've got the older style peapods and they're terribly pilled on the inside but that's because I washed them with my terry flats all the time. I'm too lazy to be bothered with pulling all the stuff off.
If you were concerned about it you could try turning them inside out or stick them in one of those laundry/hosiery/lingerie bags? HTH

Re: Can we prevent pilling?
washing them in a pillow case works well too
