Save stress, save money, save the planet with cloth nappy hire

Cloth nappy hire
It's no secret that getting started with cloth nappies can be overwhelming,. There are so many different brands, styles and fabrics, and they all advertise that they are the best. How can you tell which will work for your baby?

You may also already be an experienced cloth nappy parent and you're expecting another baby, but you don't want to spend $600 on a newborn stash that will only fit for a couple of months. You may also be super busy and not have time for buying, selling and strip and sanitising secondhand nappies and then having to sell them again afterward.

Or you may have tried cloth but found that the budget nappies you tried leaked or didn't fit well. The other nappies seem so expensive- are they really that much better?


How can cloth nappy hire help?
A Cloth Nappy Hire service is a great solution to all of these problems. A cloth nappy hire service can set you up with everything you need to try cloth nappies, for babies from birth right through to toddlerhood.

The service that each nappy hire company provides is a little different. When you hire a package from Cloth Nappy Hire Australia, you'll receive
  • a package of high quality nappies from Australia's most trusted brands
  • a custom nappy wash routine for your washing machine
  • tips, technical support and advice from our experienced team
  • cloth nappy guide
  • optional discount purchase of nappies & acccessories from hire package
  • delivery to your door.

Hire packages and add-ons are available for newborns (cloth from birth) or for babies from 5-15kg.

Are hire nappies safe for my baby?
Hire nappies are very safe, provided they are effectively sanitised and laundered between customers. Look for a hire service that follows the Australian Laundry Standards AS4146:2000. 

​
How does a hire service differ from a laundry service?
A nappy wash service is a pick-up/drop-off service that washes the nappies for you. These services typically provide a single type of cloth nappies (eg prefolds and covers, or pocket nappies with microfibre inserts), so you aren't able to trial a wide variety of brands and styles, but the laundry is done for you which is great for when you want to use cloth but life circumstances prevent you from washing them at home. You can find a list of great laundry services via the Australian Nappy Association's laundry services and libraries page.
