Of the ones that did 44 per cent did so because they were considered more eco-friendly, 29 per cent because they are cheaper, and 21 per cent because their own mother used them.<br \/>\n<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\nOne of the biggest reasons given for not using them is because they are considered unhygienic and hard to clean. A good 38 per cent said they would make the switch to real nappies if they were easier to clean.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">When it came to changing the baby\u2019s clothes, a huge 40 per cent wash them every time they are worn, and a small 3.5 per cent admit to never washing them!<br \/>\n<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\nThe personal hygiene habits of mums were also put under the spotlight. A large 70 per cent of mums said that if someone looked dirty they gave a bad first impression, but 19 per cent of mums only washed their clothes when they started to smell.<br \/>\n<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\nThe hygiene of those treasured toys was also skimped on with 10 per cent of mothers never washing their children\u2019s soft toys.<br \/>\n<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\nAcross the UK the outlook was similar, with 25 per cent of UK mums never washing towels, socks, underwear or bed sheets at the high temperatures or 60 degrees and above needed to kill off the germs. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">The survey results come at the same time as Milton launch their innovative new washing solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">Designed with the washing of real nappies in mind, adding a small amount of Milton\u2019s Antibacterial Fabric solution to the baby\u2019s washing will eliminate all germs, bacteria and fungi making it ideal for use with natural nappies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\">For more information on Milton and their products visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.milton-tm.com\/\">www.milton-tm.com<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The secrets hygiene habits of mums in the South West have been exposed in a new survey. \u00a0 The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bristol-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
