How to wash baby clothes, even with delicate materials!
Babies' skin is very delicate, so you want to wash baby clothes that come into direct contact with their skin especially gently.
Here are some tips on how to wash baby clothes.
Wash your baby's clothes separately from other laundry
The first thing you might be wondering is, "Can't I wash baby clothes with adult clothes?" It would be convenient if they could be washed with mom and dad's laundry, but the bottom line is that it's best to wash them separately, especially for newborns and babies with sensitive skin .
There are three main reasons for this.
① Hygiene:
Adult clothes may be contaminated with dirt and germs from outside.
②To protect delicate fabrics:
Baby clothes are often made from soft, delicate fabrics to prevent them from being damaged by the harsh materials, zippers, buttons, etc. of adult clothes.
3. To wash clothes in a way that is suitable for babies:
Adult detergents can be harsh on baby skin, so washing baby clothes by themselves makes it easier to use gentle baby detergents and use a gentle cycle on your washing machine.
How long should you wash them separately?
Many people separate their clothes until their baby's skin condition stabilizes between six months and one year of age . Keep an eye on your baby's skin, and if there are no skin problems, you can gradually switch to washing clothes with adults.
Use baby laundry detergent
Babies' skin is much more delicate than adults', and since the ingredients in adult detergents that enhance their cleaning power and fragrance can be irritating, it's safer to use baby laundry detergent.
Many baby detergents are free of added fragrances, coloring agents, fluorescent agents, and other additives that can irritate baby's skin, and are designed to leave little residue behind after rinsing.
Be mindful of the amount of detergent you use
When using laundry detergent, be sure to follow the instructions on the package.
Have you ever thought, "If I add more, the dirt will come off more effectively!" and ended up putting in too much?
However, in reality, if you use more than the recommended amount of detergent, the cleaning power will not increase any further, and any residue left behind may cause skin irritation. Of course, if you use too little, the dirt will not be removed properly.
So, be sure to follow the dosage instructions on the package.
How to remove baby stains
・Milk and breast milk stains
Milk and breast milk are made up of lipids and proteins, and even if they appear to have been removed at first glance, they can oxidize over time and turn into yellow stains .
To prevent stains, it is effective to soak baby clothes in warm water with oxygen bleach dissolved in it before washing them in the washing machine.
Be careful not to wash with hot water, as this will cause the protein to harden and make it harder to remove!
・Poo stains
Poop stains can easily become stubborn if left unattended. If the item becomes dirty, wipe off the poop as soon as possible, wash it by hand in cold or lukewarm water , and then wash it in the washing machine.
Some people may think that using boiling water is better for disinfection, but like breast milk and formula, stool also contains protein. If you use hot water, the heat will cause the protein to harden, making it even harder to remove, so be sure to use cold or lukewarm water.
We can handle mud and spills! How to efficiently clean children's clothes!
Once your child outgrows baby clothes, the types and stubborn stains they get will increase, from muddy messes from playing outside to big food spills! Let's take a look at some washing tips for kids' clothes to tackle stubborn stains.
The key is to pre-wash according to the dirt!
If the stains don't come off in the washing machine alone, pre-washing can help remove them more easily. Try different methods depending on the type of stain.
・Mud stains
Don't scrub it with water right away, as the mud will penetrate deep into the fibers and make the stain worse.
1) Allow the mud to dry completely in a well-ventilated place.
②Once it is dry, gently brush off any mud or sand using a clothes brush or an old toothbrush.
3. Apply liquid laundry detergent (neutral or alkaline) directly to the remaining blackened areas.
④ Gently rub in with your fingers or pat gently with a toothbrush.
⑤ Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the detergent to penetrate, then gently rub it in lukewarm water and wash it in the washing machine.
- Water-soluble spills such as soy sauce, juice, and tea
Water-based stains are relatively easier to remove than oil-based stains, but if left unattended they can easily become stains, so it's important to deal with them as soon as possible.
1. Use a dry cloth or tissue to pat the surface to absorb the moisture .
② Place a cloth (such as a towel that you don't mind getting dirty) on the back of the stained area , and with a cloth that has been soaked in water and wrung out tightly, pat from the outside of the stain towards the center to transfer the stain to the cloth underneath.
3 ) If the stain is still noticeable, apply liquid laundry detergent and wash by hand.
- Oily food spills such as ketchup and meat sauce, and crayon stains
Oily stains are repelled by water alone, so taking the time to break down the oil is effective! The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to remove, so it's important to act quickly.
1. Remove as much solid matter as possible using tissue or the back of a spoon.
Apply a small amount of dish detergent directly to the stained area.
3. Gently rub the product in with the pads of your fingers in a circular motion to lift the oil.
3) Rinse the dishwashing detergent thoroughly with lukewarm water .
With a few simple tips, you can easily clean even tough stains on children's clothes.
