How to wash?
Washing Baby Clothes:
Washing baby clothes requires special attention to ensure they are clean, safe, and comfortable for your child!
-
Use a gentle detergent: Choose a mild, hypoallergenic liquid detergent or neutral soap and do not use fabric softeners;
-
Separate the clothes: Wash your baby's clothes separately from the rest of the family's laundry;
-
Choose a delicate cycle: Use the delicate or sensitive clothes setting on your washing machine. These cycles are gentler and reduce friction and excessive wear on the clothes.
-
Wash items separately: Items like bedding, cloth diapers, and towels should be washed separately to avoid cross-contamination.
-
Check washing instructions: Always check the washing instructions on the clothing labels to ensure you are following the correct guidelines.
Velvets and Cottons:
Washing cycle up to 40°
The ideal temperature for most baby clothes is around 30°C to 40°C, because warm water is effective at removing dirt and stains without being too harsh on the clothes.
You can also choose to hand wash. Soak the clothes in a basin of warm water!
Do not use bleach
Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. These leave residues on the items that can cause skin allergies in your baby!
Do not use a dryer
All padded items; quilts, mattress protectors, blankets, etc., should not be put in the dryer. However, for velvets, the pieces become fluffier if you lightly iron them when they are almost dry.
Maximum iron temperature 150°C
Cottons are resistant to heat. If there is padding, do not press the iron down, just lightly pass over the fabric.
