    Default what can go in clothes dryer?

    Ok so I know most AIO's, anything with PUL can't go in dryer. What about other materials. Can hemp, bamboo, microfibre nappies/inserts get dried in the clothes dryer or will it ruin them?

    Thanks
    Jane

    All my nappies, including PUL AIOs go in the dryer pretty regularly- especially in the wet season. My stuff is still all good, some of it is more than 2 years old.

    I think the best bet would be to read the care instructions that come with the nappies- I think some PUL doesnt like the drier. But the others should be fine. Just keep in mind that the dryer collects lint- and that lint is the fluff from your nappies. So over time, it does ever slightly wear them down.

    Hi Jane,
    I often pop my nappies in the drier to finish them off when it's wet, like now! I wouldn't do it regularly but like Davina said double check what the nappies care instructions say.

    everything in fact our dryer gave up the ghost 2wks ago and we decided not to replace it till we move and my nappies (elastic) are showing wear now the are on the line (I dry in the dryer most of the time) so I think the sun does just as much if not more damage to pul and elastic than a dryer.
