Not only is children's nutrition is important and deserves all the attention, their clothing is just as important, from the materials used to the way the clothes are washed. Proper washing is the first secret so that the child's clothing lasts longer and does not deteriorate at the first wash. Each label has a number of symbols that inform about the method of washing and caring for clothes. If the clothing is made of different materials, it is best to follow the right instructions for the most delicate material.
Children's skin is very fine and vulnerable, especially in the first months of life, and their immune system is still sensitive. For this reason, it is important to wash clothes before the first wear, as this helps to remove any substances or dust particles that may irritate your baby's delicate skin or endanger his health.
Here are the steps you need to follow before washing:
1. Read the clothing label carefully before washing. Children's clothes have labels on which different ways of care are written. Make sure you read them all carefully and check the instructions for washing water temperature, washing mode - manually or with the washing machine. Remove all labels from new clothes before washing.
2. Sort the clothes to be washed. Before putting the clothes in the washing machine, sort them. You can arrange them in colors, colored or white, but you can also sort them according to the temperature of the water at which they need to be washed. Diapers should also be washed separately from other clothes and at a higher temperature.
3. Use special detergents for baby clothes. You need to keep in mind that you cannot use the same detergent that you use when washing your clothes or those of other family members. Therefore, you should always wash your baby's clothing items separately from those of family members. You should also use a hypoallergenic detergent, specially created for the sensitive skin of your baby, which does not have as much perfume in the composition as regular detergents. Thus, the baby's skin will not be exposed to chemicals or other substances that can cause all kinds of irritations or allergic reactions. What we like, as an adult, that smells very nice is aggressive for a child. Choose products with as natural scents as possible, which do not contain perfumes, parabens, other aggressive substances. Also, make sure you wash an appropriate amount of clothes, not too many in one washing machine, and use as much detergent as indicated on the label. You may need a special stain remover, so choose a special one for sensitive skin.
