Program Quick

Powder 1 small scoop · 1 tbsp

B · The main load
Program Longest Cotton
Temperature 40°C
Powder 1 big scoop · ¼ cup
Spin Max
Dry weight 6.0 kg total
Top up with small items to 6.0 kg. Clean covers go in here. Nothing bigger than an adult t-shirt.
⏱ Load B within 24 hours of Load A. Damp diapers wait in the open basket — never the closed drum.
🛏️
C · Towels & sheets
Program Cotton
Temperature 60°C
Powder 1 big scoop · ¼ cup
Spin Max
Their own load.
Never with diapers.
Never Eco, never Quick. No softener. No extra rinses.
⚖️ Big scoop = ¼ cup = 50 g · Small scoop = 1 tbsp = 15 g
Both scoops live by the machine — fill each one LEVEL. (Measured for Attack powder, 2026-07-11.)
Dose follows the dirt, not the weight. Too little → soil redeposits → ammonia. Too much → powder stays in the fibres.
DRYING
☀️ Direct Sun
Prefolds & inserts · Reusable wipes
— or a hot dryer, anything goes. Sun bleaches stains out for free.
🌥️ Air-Dry, Shade
Covers (PUL) · Wet bags
— plastic side down. Never a dryer. Heat & UV delaminate them.
Clothes
— then 10 minutes low tumble to soften.
Silk · activewear · swimwear
— dry flat. Heat kills spandex.
🌀 Dryer, Low Heat
Towels & sheets only
— add wool dryer balls.
A stain is not dirt. Sun a damp insert and the yellow is gone in hours, for free. Reach for bleach when something smells, not when it looks marked.
WHEN IT STINKS
✨ Oxygen bleach is a booster, never a detergent — always alongside the powder. 1 Vanish scoop = 60 g · ¼ = 15 g · works from 40°C, inert at 30°C.
| 🧺 Ordinary diaper wash |
No oxygen bleach. Roughly monthly, on demand — not every wash. |
| 🟡 Insert is stained |
Sun it while damp. |
| 🌗 Stain survived the sun |
Spot-paste 15 g + 10 ml water, 10 min max. Cotton only — never PUL or elastics. |
| 💨 Ammonia, stink, after illness |
60 g into Load B at 40°C. |
| 🦨 Towels smell musty |
60 g into Load C at 60°C. |
| 💧 Inserts stopped absorbing |
Something coated them. Stop using it. Wash hot with powder, no additives. |
