Basic ways to clean baby clothes

There are a number of methods for cleaning things, each of which has specific characteristics.

Baby washing powder

This tool fixes the problem perfectly. However, it will not be able to remove old stains from the diaper. When washing by hand, the powder should be completely combined with water and beaten a little to get a lather. Machine wash is carried out according to the standard procedure.

Laundry soap

In order to prevent the appearance of allergies in an infant, many mothers prefer to use laundry soap. It helps to remove feces from the diaper. To do this, it is worth immersing clothes in hot water, thoroughly soaping and soaking. Hold in the solution for a quarter of an hour. Then rub and rinse several times. To wash the diapers in the machine, it is recommended to grind about a third of the bar with a fine grater, add shavings to the powder compartment. Then place the laundry in the machine and start the wash.

Dye-free baby soap

Baby soap, which contains no coloring components or additives, will be an excellent option for washing. It is recommended to grind it before use, and then use it in the same way as for household.

Boiling

Moms with a modern washing machine are relieved of the need for newborn babies regularly. It is easy to kill germs by running the wash cycle at the maximum temperature.

In rare cases, after such cleaning, things are not completely washed. Then you can return the crystal whiteness and freshness to the clothes by boiling.

A five-liter pot was filled with water and placed on the stove.
Grated on a grater a bar of households. soap and poured it into a container.
A spoonful of baking soda was added to the liquid and waited for the water to boil.

To wash baby diapers in this way, dip them one by one in boiling water and leave in it for 1-2 minutes. If the stains are very persistent, repeat the procedure.

After boiling, be sure to rinse the laundry 3-4 times and hang to dry in the sun.

How to wash?

Store goods

The natural composition of household chemicals is important for healthy baby skin.

For newborns, the appearance of the diaper is not so important, somehow, so that the used detergents do not harm his delicate skin. Therefore, when buying a powder, you should make sure that there are no fragrances, dyes and various optical brighteners in its composition. It is better if the base of the cleaning product is natural, dissolves easily in water, does not get stuck in the fabric fibers and does not deform their structure. The most suitable remedy for safely removing feces and urine from baby diapers is laundry soap.

If you wash it by hand, immerse the soapy laundry in a bowl of hot water and leave it for half an hour.After the time has elapsed, rinse the item thoroughly under the tap. Laundry soap can also be used for automatic washing. You will need to grate 1/3 of the brown piece and pour the shavings into the powder compartment. Set the appropriate mode on the washer.

With improvised means

You can whiten baby diapers without using specially designed washing products, but using what every housewife probably has at home. One effective way is as follows:

Fill the basin with pre-boiled water.
Add 1 tbsp. l. ammonia and 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, immerse the item in them and leave for half an hour.
When the time is up, take out the diaper and rub the stained areas with soap.
Rub well and rinse under the tap.

Preliminary soaking in solution will help to remove traces of children's "affairs".

To wash poop and traces of them on the diaper, you can use a solution prepared from ammonium chloride and ethyl alcohol. Pour water into a bowl and add the same amount of the required ingredients. Leave things in the ready-made solution for half an hour, and then scroll in the washing machine with liquid baby powder.

The older the child, the more difficult it is to wash the traces of stool from the diaper. But the "grandmother's" methods rarely let down, because they, like no one else, know better how to get rid of any stain. So, experienced housewives recommend:

Pour 6 tablespoons of baking soda into a bowl of water and place until the alkaline crystalline substance is completely dissolved.
Add 2 tablespoons of ammonia.
Put the diapers in the resulting liquid.
After 2-3 hours, rinse without sparing water.

Boil as an option to combat stains

You will need to take a large saucepan, fill it with water and bring to a boil. At the same time, grate the household soap and pour the shavings into the water, adding a large spoonful of baking soda. As soon as bubbles appear on the surface, gently lower the dirty diapers for 1-2 minutes, if necessary, repeat the manipulation several times until the dirt completely disappears. Rinse the laundry at the end.

How to deal with traces of urine?

After changing the diapers, it is advisable to immediately put the fabric in soapy water.

After the baby has covered the diaper, a yellow spot and an unpleasant odor may also remain. Therefore, you should not put it aside, but it is better to immediately put it in a basin with water and soapy water.

Pros and cons of using

Not all parents choose to buy bumpers. Bolsters for beds are small pillows that are fixed with Velcro or ties to the walls. Products are valued because of:

Child safety. Pillows protect babies from impacts and also prevent them from getting stuck between the twigs.
Dust and draft protection. Newborns are highly exposed to negative environmental influences. Even if the house is cleaned frequently and is protected from the wind, the sides will still help.
Creation of coziness and tranquility. Thanks to the bumpers, the bed will be comfortable. What is happening in the room will not disturb the child's sleep.

> Although the sides are comfortable and safe, their use has negative aspects. The disadvantages include the following nuances:

In case of poor quality fixing of products in the crib, the child has a risk of injury or bruising from the bars of the lattice.
The baby will not have visibility of what is happening in the room. And grown up children are actively interested in the world around them.
Dust accumulates in the product, which can lead to allergies in the child.

These negative nuances are easily eliminated. Bumpers must be properly secured or free up a small viewing space for the child. And if you regularly wash this product, then the problem of dust will be eliminated.

Features of washing bumpers

The sides are washed by 2 methods - by hand and by machine. If they have removable covers, then it is more convenient to do this in a typewriter. When the quality of the product is in doubt, it is advisable to wash the products by hand with a liquid detergent, and then rinse thoroughly.

If machine mode is chosen, then delicate or manual mode is required.

It is important that the temperature of the water during washing and the drum speed during spinning are low

When manually squeezing, do not twist the sides, as this will deform their shape.

Manually

The bath must be filled with warm water. Then a little detergent is diluted. The sides are immersed in water. You should wait 5-10 minutes. Then the garments must be gently wrung out and the bumpers must be rinsed thoroughly in clean water several times.

In a washing machine

Machine care must be carried out in accordance with several rules. To wash the sides, you must turn on the delicate mode. The lowest temperature is needed.

Rinsing is also required. Flavors should not be used. But when rinsing, a baby conditioner with a hypoallergenic composition is added.

We wash diapers from feces

How to remove fecal stains if the baby gets dirty on the diaper? Don't leave cleansing for later.

Immediately remove any remaining stool from it by rinsing and rubbing with your hands under running ice water. Do not neglect this moment. If you do not do this, the yellowness will penetrate deeply into the fabric, and it will be very difficult to get rid of it.
Prepare a soapy solution in hot water, rub the diaper with soap and soak it for half an hour.
Then wash as usual.

When the laundry is dry, be sure to iron it on both sides if the baby's umbilical wound has not yet healed. This will save the baby from infection. After the navel has healed, ironing is allowed on one side.

Ways to remove urine

Mothers, whose babies suffer from bedwetting, have to think about how to remove urine stains from bed linen. There are several options, so we will tell you about the most popular. However, the first thing to do is rinse the soiled sheet in a bathtub filled with warm water. Thanks to this manipulation, the cleaning agent does less work, and the fabric is washed more efficiently. When you're done rinsing, choose one of the appropriate cleaning methods to get rid of the pungent yellow marks.

For example, you can use laundry soap. Thoroughly soap the wetted product, leave it for a couple of hours or overnight, and wash it in the morning. If it doesn't help, we clean it with Eared Nanny (laundry soap for cleaning children's clothes), after an hour we send it to the wash. We soap the soiled white things, leave for a quarter of an hour and wash. In case of serious pollution, you can use bleach ("Whiteness", Vanish and their analogues). We read the instructions, apply the required amount of the product, wash and rinse thoroughly after a quarter of an hour. Be aware that unwashed items with urine stains should not be ironed. Otherwise, you won't be able to wash them.

We clean the colored matter with an acetic solution (1 tsp acid in a glass of water). We moisten the soiled place in the solution and leave for 60 minutes. Then we rinse the item of clothing and wash it in warm soapy water. Finally, you can use a solution of citric acid (1 tsp) in water (1 cup). We process the yellow mark on the fabric, wait for the product to work and wash the product with soap. When these methods do not work, you can use a stain remover suitable for cleaning baby clothes.

Choice of funds

Baby clothes are usually washed with specially formulated detergents. Each hardware store has several types of these products. They work well for washing bumpers.

Liquid powder

Many people consider such a product to be the most suitable for washing, because it washes the products thoroughly. Ordinary powder is not washed out of the rim with sufficient quality. In addition, after this, the products emit an odor, which is undesirable for such accessories.

Baby foam

Some parents choose liquid products. If it is difficult to find a special gel for washing, then baby bath foam is used. Such a product will not cause an allergic reaction and will be thoroughly washed with water.

Unscented soap

For washing by hand, baby soap can be used that does not contain perfumery fragrances. It perfectly removes dust and other impurities, rinses thoroughly with water and does not cause allergies.

If the bumpers are not stained or emit an unpleasant odor, they can be washed without the use of detergent. For this, only warm water is used.

Care Tips and Tricks

When the baby was just brought from the hospital, he is not very active.The product must be washed immediately after purchase, and then the procedure is performed after 2-2.5 months. When the child grows up, the wash is performed after 1-1.5 months. It is better to remove new contamination immediately, without allowing it to dry out.

Frequent washing will negatively affect the color of the rims. The drawing will not be as bright. Do not wash every day, it is better to do it as needed.

Ironing is not considered compulsory for the sides. But if you really want to do this, then you should take into account several recommendations:

The procedure is performed only at low temperatures. The foam rubber melts from strong heat, and a hot iron will damage the synthetic winterizer.
Do not steam, as this will impair the appearance of the product.
Removable covers are ironed at different temperatures.

Bumpers in a crib for small children need the same care as other baby things. Washing and drying properly will extend the life of your garment.

General rules for washing children's clothes

Clothes for children must be washed separately from adult clothes.

It doesn't matter what it is, romper, diaper or walking jumpsuit. How to wash baby diapers and undershirts in the washing machine?

Boiling water will kill germs that are harmful to newborns and improve the quality of your wash.

When washing by hand, rinse the recorded diapers in cool water, unscrew and then immerse in hot soapy water. Wait 15 minutes, rub and rinse several times.

What substances should not be used for washing clothes of a newborn

Two types of harsh baby bleach:

Chlorine based. The chlorine contained in the composition damages the fibers of the fabric. If used incorrectly, whiteness burns the product. Often this component provokes allergic reactions for the baby.
Optical compositions. These bleaches will help to fade the stains, but not completely erase them. The constituents are embedded in the material and are difficult to wash out of the fibers. Particles of a substance, when in contact with the skin of a child, have friction, a negative effect. Items treated with the mixture require thorough rinsing.
It is forbidden to use ammonia, vinegar, acid in pure form in large quantities.

The use of any whitening product requires strict adherence to proportions. Compliance with the rules will help to avoid damage to the skin of a child and an adult when washing.
