how do you wash your muslin squares?

[Dee1985]

iv never used them before but as you girls swear by them i have went and got 6!!!

there great seems Harley is sick alot, but i just put 2 in the wash with all my other whites on a 50degree wash as they were all so dirty then i put them in the tumble dryer, now they are half the size and gone all out of shape??

was it how hot the wash is or cuz i put them in dryer???

It could be your dryer hun,

My clothes come out mis shaoen if they have been in the dryer.
I just put underwear in there now.

Hang them on the line when you can or radiators.

 

I bung mine on the radiator. I have boil washed them before but when they are dry I just iron them out flat and it makes them lovely and soft again I have about 14 or 15 of the things floating about my house.

i dont boil eva's whites as most of them say not to. then i put them in the dryer and they never go out of shape. maybe it was the heat of the wash? hmm strange

 

[Urchin]

Mine are ok washed on 40 and tumble dried.
They only take 2 mins on the radiator or washing line though.

 

[Sarah&Braydon]

mine wen i used them went in the wash n then the dryer he wasnt sick often so they werent really used lol

 

i dont boil eva's whites as most of them say not to.

Only the muslin cloth's I boil wash! They can be washed on a 90degree wash - they were meant for terry nappies after all so they need to be sturdy

Everything else goes on a 50C quick wash.

Mine do go a bit out of shape, but ironing them returns them to theiir former glory. Although to be honest, if I'm not in the mood to iron I just grab it off the rad and use it crinkly!

Never had a tumble dryer so dunno about that.

I just put mine in a 50 degree wash with the rest of my whites and they seem to be fine. I let them dry over the clothes horse and then iron them.



Are the ones you brought 100% cotton? If not that may be why the stains dont come out easily

 

Nope they are cotton. I normally bung them in a normnal wash unless I've got lots to wash, then I do a hot wash. It's the bibs which I struggle to get carrot out of!

 

[Dee1985]

mine look al crinkley at the mo so if i iron them they should be fine

 

[hels]

I wash them at 60 degrees, then on the radiator or on the line now its sunny

 

[Lauz_1601]

dONT IRON THEM HUN YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO DO LOL, I LEAVE MINE ALL CRINKLY

 

[Kim]

lol so do i!!

 

[Lucy]

I was mine at 60 degrees then bung in the dryer, I use them crinkly as well - it's probably just my imagination but they seem more absorbent when they're crinkly.

I found some blue muslins and pink muslins in Asda at the weekend, made a nice change from the white ones.

I wash everything on 40 degrees and dry everything on the radiator except towels cos it makes them crispy

 

[beanie]

I wash everything on a 40 degree wash and line dry or tumble dry. The only things I occasionally boil wash are her nappies if they are heavily soiled but it is usually 40 degrees. I swear by napisan, I put it i her white wash and it is great x

 

[Hypnorm]

Sorry - whats an iron again??? haven't used one since ewan was born so every one has crinkly clothes!!
My muslins r in and out of the dryer so much i just don't bother ironing em, got other things i'd much rather dooo!!

 

[Rosieroo]

Sorry - whats an iron again??? haven't used one since ewan was born so every one has crinkly clothes!!

Ditto! Everything goes in the machine on a normal 40 degree wash, then line dried. Normally blows the creases out

 

[BubbleOne]

I must be sad then

I iron everything except fitted sheets and underwear!!!

Can't imagine not ironing things!!!!

 

[Kim]

I iron everything except socks & muslins (although I have done muslins in the past), I like ironing

I don't have enough time to do everyones though, so I just do Rubies and pay my mum to do the rest
