    Default Mildew!

    Damn and blast!

    I left 3 days between my nappy wash because I worked yesterday and couldn't be bothered getting up earlier to wash them. I've left them for 3 days a couple of other times with no problems.

    When I got them out of the nappy bucket, a BBH and 2 Cute Tooshies BDs were all covered in greyey-browny mildewy stuff.

    I did a hot wash (I hope this hasn't done more harm than good!) and am just about to hang them out.

    Will the sun get rid of the fugly stains? Is there anything else I should do? All of my nappies are SPOTLESS and I want to keep up my good track record

    TIA

    i have had the same stains before. mine didn't come out entirely, but they did fade somewhat after some sun and some hot washes. I have to confess to soaking a nappy in napisan to get rid of the stains on one nappy but in my defence on that it was a beautiful nappy with a white printed outer. anyway, that worked! but my other nappies that it's happened to, the stains came out eventually overtime but you'll probably be stuck with them for a bit.
