Steri Nappi…Not Just for Nappies

NatureLife SA is thrilled to announce that they have brought back a firm South African favourite. Steri Nappi has been used for many years by South Africans so there were a lot of unhappy Moms when it was removed from our shelves. You can visit our Steri Nappi website here

Steri Nappi was initially used primary for cloth nappies. Its ability to sterilise, deodorise, whiten and remove stains was then identified as excellent for cleaning clothes, bibs, burp cloths, tablecloths, serviettes, linen, dish cloths, nurses’ uniforms, doctors’ coats, cricket & karate kits etc.

WHY PHOSPHATE FREE

So, what is phosphate? Phosphates are present in a lot of detergents, but its use has been strongly discouraged due to its impact on the environment. If the phosphates get into our water systems, they create algae blooms and starve fish of oxygen. At one stage South Africa was reported to have the highest known levels of blue-green algae contamination in the world, with about two thirds of our national water resource contaminated.

Eutrophication (excess minerals & nutrients) causes an overgrowth of algae that harms water quality, reduces oxygen, produces toxins, impacts river and marine life and affects food and human health. The most common nutrients causing eutrophication are nitrogen and phosphorus. The main source of nitrogen pollutants is run-off from agricultural land, whereas most phosphorus pollution comes from households and industry, including phosphorus-based detergents.

Once a water body becomes eutrophic and cyanobacteria becomes established, no known method in SA has ever been able to reverse that process – Water Scientist Professor Anthony Turton

DIRECTIONS

Steri Nappi is so easy to use. Dissolve 2 teaspoons of Steri Nappi in 7 litres of warm water. Add your dirty laundry and leave to soak overnight for hygienically clean results. Rinse and hang out to dry. There is no need for further washing.

To get your white linens etc. bright white again, a little Steri Nappi can also be added to your automatic washing machine pre-wash.
