Is it safe to wash nappies (diapers) on a cold water cycle in the washing machine?
November 28th, 2009 at 1:32I read recently that it was more the agitation and soap which got rid of the bacteria; even washing in hot water (boiling) didn’t kill all the baddies. These are modern cloth, so they’re made from PUL, bamboo, and microfleece. I hang them in the sun to dry when it’s sunny, but in rainy weather, they dry undercover (still outside).

I would say no, no and no again. The other thing you could do (but please don’t just use cold water) is add a sterilising agent, here in UK we have a product called Napisan (we call diapers nappies) that you can use to soak the nappies in before washing and you can then add some to the washing machine (together with regular detergent). Remember what these items are used for and that should answer your question about hygiene.
