stupid question - what does the dettol do?? I mean, is it just as an anti-bac treatment or does it have other mysterious talents???

I use the in-wash stuff as an anti-bac treatment if I run out of tea tree oil.

Not sure of any other mysterious talents though - certainly doesn't stuff all my pockets or do the ironing

LOL!! now that would be cool!

It's just that I read somewhere that adding a capful of white vinegar to the load (in the fabric conditioner bit) softens all the clothes and stops detergent build-up, so wondered if dettol did something similar...

I bit dettol comes out smelling better than vinegar though!

I have also read that vinegar isn't good for PUL if used regularly. I use a cap of Dettol once a week and I just find it helps keep the nappies fresh, plus it's nice to know that it's killing any bugs that may be lurking
