One of the things that always worries moms and dads, especially first-timers, is how to care for their child's clothes so they don't get damaged, not only because they might deteriorate, but also so that their child feels comfortable in them. Although most children's clothing is made of very durable fabrics, we must take special care with 100% cotton or wool garments:
— These materials should be washed in short, cold washing machine programs.
— A spin cycle should not be used on wool garments.
— When ironing, you should not overdo it, as the fabrics will suffer and wear out more easily.
Now that we're familiar with how to treat each material during washing and ironing, we'll give you some simple tips for caring for your little ones' clothes:
Wash your child's clothes before wearing them for the first time.
We should also apply this advice to our own clothes, but it's even more important for our little ones. It's a good idea to wash our babies' clothes before wearing them for the first time, since they go through many cycles from the moment they're manufactured until they arrive at our home. No matter how well protected they are, they've been in contact with many external agents, so we must take special care.
The clothes we buy are often on display in stores, so they're handled by salespeople and other customers, who sometimes buy them and then return them. For all these reasons, it's best to wash new clothes on a normal cycle, and hand-wash more delicate items.
Choose a suitable detergent
Another essential tip for keeping your children's clothes in top condition is choosing the right detergent. Our little ones' clothes get dirty more easily. These fabrics quickly deteriorate after washing, so choosing a good detergent is essential to take care of their clothes and ensure they last longer.
Our little ones' skin is particularly sensitive and tends to react to any element or substance that comes into contact with it. Therefore, it's essential to wash their clothes with as few chemicals as possible.
The most suitable soap for these cases is a neutral and hypoallergenic soap. There are several brands on the market at different price points, so you can choose what best suits each situation. We shouldn't use fabric softener, as it's used in the wash cycle after the rinse, and residue can remain on the clothes at the end of the load. Furthermore, these residues could cause skin irritation. Let's try to avoid using this product when doing the little ones' laundry.
Wash your child's clothes separately
The next tip for proper care of our little ones' clothes is to separate their clothing from our own. During the first few months of your baby's life, it's recommended that you wash their clothes separately. This is very important to avoid possible contact with dirt from adult clothing or harmful elements that may be present in other clothes and could be harmful to our child.
It is also advisable to wash clothes in cold water so that they do not shrink or fade.
Wash and hang clothes inside out.
This tip isn't just useful for caring for your children's clothes, but by turning the garments inside out, you'll find all the wonderful things your little one keeps in their pockets and prevent items from getting lost in the washing machine or dirtying the clothes. Turning the garments inside out protects them from rubbing against each other in the drum and prevents wear and tear.
Once the washing machine cycle is complete, since the clothes have already been washed inside out, it will be more convenient and easier to hang them up. With this trick, we'll prevent the sun from fading the color and affecting the quality of the garments.
If you want to save your little one's clothes for a future baby or simply to donate them, you must be careful when choosing the container and location where you will store them. It is very important to avoid using plastic bags or materials that promote moisture buildup. By putting these tips into practice, your children's clothes will stay in perfect condition for a long time.
