Baby’s clothes need special care and cleaning. The following is the correct way to clean baby’s clothes:
1. Classified washing: put the baby’s clothes according to the Sort colors, materials and stain levels and wash them separately. Wash light and dark clothes separately to prevent staining. Also, avoid washing clothes that shed hair easily with other clothes.
2. Use mild detergents: Choose mild detergents specifically designed for baby clothes. These detergents usually do not contain irritating ingredients and can protect your baby’s clothes. Skin is protected from excessive chemical damage. Avoid using detergents with strong fragrances or additives, as these may cause allergies or irritate your baby’s skin.
3. Hand wash or gentle wash: Hand washing is the safest option for baby’s clothes. Use warm water and a small amount of detergent in a laundry tub or washing machine, stirring gently to avoid excessive rubbing or pulling on the clothes. For clothes made of certain special materials, such as wool or silk, it is best to use specialized cleaning methods.
4. Rinse clean: Make sure to rinse the clothes thoroughly to prevent residual detergent from irritating your baby’s skin.
5. Avoid drying: Try to avoid using the dryer to dry your baby’s clothes. Heat and friction can cause clothing to shrink or lose shape. Instead, dry laundry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct exposure to the sun to avoid fading.
6. Pay attention to clothing disinfection: baby’s clothes need to be disinfected regularly, especially during the newborn period. Clothing can be soaked in diluted disinfectant solution and treated as directed. In addition, it is recommended to sterilize clothes by high-temperature boiling from time to time.
7. Special stain treatment: If the clothes have stubborn stains, you can use appropriate detergents for pretreatment. Note, however, that pretreaters should be gentle and compliant for infant use.
Finally, be sure to follow the instructions on the care label on the garment. If in any doubt, it’s best to seek advice from a professional or brand.
