Tips for Washing Baby Clothes

Separate Baby Clothes from Diapers We recommend that you wash baby clothes separately from diapers.  Should You Wash Baby Clothes with the rest of the laundry? Some say that it is ok to wash them together, that regular detergents should not bother the baby's skin. We would prefer to be more cautious and recommend using a special type of laundry soap called Charlie's Soap, which is fully natural, biodegradable and does not leave any residue which can reduce the fire-retardant qualities of your baby's clothes. It also has outperformed the leading brands in University studies.  It is not a good idea to use fabric softener in the washer or dryer. It tends to be highly perfumed and can cause a rash on the baby. In addition, it can reduce the fire-retardant qualities of your child's clothes.  Dingy Diapers Presoak in an oxygen bleach. If stain remains, rub on detergent and rinse. Wash. Keep a pail for diapers by the dressing table where you can soak until you rinse them.  *We have recently come out with a new invention which eliminates the dreaded task of dunking diapers in the toilet. The Little Squirt is a powerful sprayer that attaches to the water supply for your toilet. Instead of dunking, you simply spray the contents of the diaper into the toilet.
