Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 I use two buckets - one small one with water in for pooey nappies and another large one without water for the wet ones. I put the pooey ones in the machine first and run through a couple of rinses, then add the wet ones and wash at 60C. Easy as pie!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2000 Report Share Posted May 27, 2000 How much are you willing to pay for my 25 year-old-but-still-in-good-nick specimen???? Lesley Ps Actually, I think it is older than that, we bought it for making home brew, then it became a nappy bucket! --------------- asked...........and where do you get a bucket with a lid from?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2000 Report Share Posted May 27, 2000 > >Oh blimey, if I do this real nappies thing, would I have to find floor space >for two buckets? > > > NO! i only have one -dry (i don't soak) it doesn't smell(well unless you stuck your nose in & sniffed!!) all poo goes in the loo on a flushable liner, even with bf only poo this gets rid of lots & the machine easily deals with the rest. have to say the two buckets would have finished me off -too much faff. angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 I've got you now, .........what you're trying to say is that you don't do *any* washing. You buy stuff at NNS's and throw it away when its dirty! Very clever and of course saves a lot of wear and tear on the washing machine. Excellent idea! --------------------- LOL got me banged to rights, oh no I've been sussed :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
