Mildew on your Cloth Nappies? Removing black spots from cloth nappies or covers is tricky and what works for one may not for another! Here are a few tips that we have found really work:

We love to hear from our customers, and the following testimonial was written by a lovely lady who used our Birth to Potty Pack nappies with 4 of her babies – proof our nappies stand the test of time! 2 Child Guarantee – wow this lady made it to 4! 'As a new Mum I was keen to provide my baby with the healthiest most natural start in life but found that often this idealist ‘green’ approach was hard to maintain as our lives are much busier than that of our grandmothers who never had to take baby out in the car etc so when a friend lent me the ‘snug wrap’ to try I was sceptical that I could keep it up as I had failed with the pins and nappy pants before. However after two days I was on line and purchased my first set...'

“You are so lucky nowadays you don’t have to use those awful cloth nappies, pins and plastic overpants!” That was the comment of my mum when I told her I was pregnant. Then 7 years later here we are with the largest Cloth Nappy Company in New Zealand. So why did we make this decision, and not only make the decision to use cloth but to start up a company and become so passionate about it that here we are today launching into the USA and the UK! Well actually I blame my husband….

You change your Newborn baby between 8-10 times a day, this reduces as your baby gets older down to aprox 6 times a day as a Toddler. With our Birth to Potty Pack we have calculated that based on the usual consumption of nappies, you would only need to wash every 3rd day, equating to an extra 5 minutes spent each day to use Real Nappies Cloth Nappies.

So just what is öko-tex? Oko-Tex (sounds like echo-tex) is a process of testing that checks for over 100 harmful substances. Our cotton nappies go through a pain-staking process whereby they are tested for over 100 harmful substances. Oko-Tex is the evaluation standard for the human ecological standard of textiles.
