It's been a few years since I had a little one at home, but my sister-in-law is preparing to welcome her third baby girl in the next few weeks. Those sweet little ones are adorable but they bring with them a whole lot of laundry! Heck, even as they get bigger the laundry never slows down, but there is something sweet and special about washing little onesies and miniature size pants that your hand couldn't fit in that makes laundry sort of fun.
In the middle of a full on kitchen remodel {and general home upheaval}, I offered to help my sister-in-law wash up some of those hand me down baby clothes for her new baby girl. I thought that I would put together the best baby laundry tips to help you in case this is the stage of life that you are in.
1. Pick a versatile stain remover
Little ones make big stain. I like to use OxiClean™ because not only is it a tough stain fighter, it's also gentle enough for even the littlest of little clothes. I used OxiClean™ Versatile stain remover on my sister-in-laws hand-me-down load to help remove any of those tough baby stains and to refresh the clothes to make them look new again, not like they had been handed down from cousin to sister to sister to sister!
You should also pre-wash any brand new baby clothes because you don't know where they have been or what's been on them.
2. Pre-soak any stained items
Between spitting up and diaper blow outs, those baby clothes can take a beating! Sometimes you don't notice stains on clothing when you pack them away but over time in storage, those stains start to pop up and become noticeable.
I start off the laundry cycle by sorting out those items that need a little pre-soaking. I add a scoop of OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover to the hottest water my sink will make. And then I let the clothes soak for a few hours.
