Our Laundering Process

For the health of your children and our environment, we have taken laundering industry standards and improved on them:

• We are certified phosphate free and do not use LAS based detergents.
• We do not use chlorine to whiten or sanitize our diapers.
• We balance the pH levels in the wash to match the pH level of your baby’s skin, which further reduces the incidence of diaper rashes
• We use cold water detergents because they use less energy than hot water detergents do, making it that much better for the environment.

Sanitizing Our Diapers

Old school laundry services still believe that chlorine is needed to sanitize diapers. This is in fact false. Evidence-based research clearly indicates that detergents with the proper heat and pressure will sanitize better than using chemicals.

There have been several patents placed on cleaning detergents that sanitize without chlorine and with lower heat settings. Happy Nappy combines several steps to ensure our diapers are clean and healthy:

• We prewash the diapers with our own propiratory detergent
• We follow that with a sanitizing wash, which uses a higher temperature than the first cold water wash
• A stain remover wash is used to lift any remaining Non Organic type dirt (Creams and such)
• We finish with a our own, pH-balanced rinse 
• Then there is our commercial driers. We make sure that the diapers come up to 175 degrees for at least 30 minutes. This ensures that if any bacteria etc were to survive, the heat would make them inert. 

Compared to typical laundry services that use two to three chemicals to get their white products bleached clean, we use a blend of over 8 environmentally friendly detergents  and 4 separate washes. Our advanced washing equipment, dryers and computers  perform a better job using less energy and water. In short, our process is overall better for your baby and our earth.
