In the days when our kids were born there were no other nappies than those we had to wash and hang on the line. I went to buy groceries one day my hubby said he will watch the two of them. By that time they were big enough to start walking. I will never forget coming round the corner and there he was hosing them down with the hose pipe outside. He said he could not keep up with the 2 and the boys nappies was impossible for hime to fold. I just could not help laughing as he was so distressed.
We tried them! The good lady is a bit of a hippy at heart and bought them for our daughter when she was tiny. After having to wash them once I told her that if she wanted to wash them she could but I was having nothing more to do with them!
Hosing might be a good idea!
