Most mothers would wash their baby’s clothes in special detergents to help lessen the risk of skin allergies to take place. However, there are some babies who do not show any reactions when it comes to using common detergents. It is suggested though that for children from birth up to two years of age, their clothes should be washed in dye free detergent since this is less likely to trigger any allergic reactions when it comes to your baby.
It is also advised to avoid the use of fabric conditioners on your baby’s clothes since they contain harmful chemicals that can easily irritate your baby’s skin. Aside from that, fabric conditioners are said to take away the flame retardant in clothing.
Your baby can have the cutest outfit but they will not hesitate to stain it. Stains on baby clothes such as baby foods and leaking diapers can be difficult to get rid off. The only way to get rid of them is to pre-treat the stain before washing the clothes. Once this is done, the process can help get rid of the most stubborn stains which will help leave your baby’s clothing clean and pristine. Pre-treatment can be done with the help of club soda or baking soda and vinegar. It is important to treat the stains as soon as possible in order to increase the chance that the stain will come out.
You should dry your baby’s clothes on your dryer’s lowest setting. This is because the heat can shrink your baby’s clothes which will unable your baby from wearing them anymore.
When you have new clothes for your baby, it is also best to wash them first before allowing your baby to wear them. Although they may look clean and fresh when you bought them in the department store, the baby clothing has already been in contact with dirt, four legged creatures and bugs while it is being packaged and shipped.
