Bio D Nappy Fresh - 500g Reviews

I actually use this oxygen bleach powder for soaking menstrual pads rather than nappies, but it's more or less the same principle. If I soak the pads for an hour, it does a good job of getting the blood out and I only need to spray the most heavily stained pads with a stain remover spray before throwing them in the wash. (For people considering using this method, it's called dry-pailing, you keep the used pads in a dry container until this prewash treatment and thus avoid smell and mess.) If I soak the pads for two hours, or use a stronger brand of oxygen powder, they tend to get very faded. On the other hand, I prefer a stronger brand to put in with a white wash, as the laundry liquid I use isn't that strong. So I keep both and they work nicely. It's a good brand if you have sensitive skin, I've been known to get dermatitis from a number of standard cleaning products or toiletries and Bio-D has never set it off.

Easy to use versatile antibacterial powder. We use it to soak nappies prior to washing and have found it reduces smells and staining. We also use it as an in-wash treatment if we've been away from home and unable to soak. Also good for using on clothes and bedding if kids have been sick or had accidents.

I decided to try this instead of Napisan and so far have been happy with it.

I only tried one pack of this product to use for soaking nappies. The stink was appalling and soaked nappies are heavy. After that I just put nappies, wet or dirty, in a bucket with no soaking fluid or chemical and then washed at 60 degrees (I only wash nappies and flannels at that temperature, everything else is 30) no staining and no smell. A lot less effort, no extra chemicals (however eco friendly)
