The immune system of your baby is still evolving, therefore they are still vulnerable to infections and diseases from almost anything - including baby apparels. In Singapore, shopping online for baby clothes is common because of the deals. Before letting your baby wear them, here is how to properly it:
Check the brand label for instructions
Online stores in Singapore, leave tags in baby’s clothes with washing instructions that you can follow. This would help you understand the material and manner on how to wash it properly.
Pre-soak if allowed
Some materials used in babies’ clothes allow pre-soaking - dipping the clothes in hot water. It will kill a lot of germs that could potentially harm your baby.
Wash them separately
Since adults have a stable immune system, they can fight against the bacteria that had attached itself to clothes. However, if mixed with babies’ clothes, they might transfer and afflict your baby.
Use eco-friendly, non-chemical detergent
Carefully read you detergent soap because chemicals in it could damage your baby’s skin and cause allergic reactions. If you can find non-chemical laundry soaps, use that for safety measures.
Measure the temperature of the water
When washing baby clothes, monitor the water temperature as it could alter the integrity of the clothes. Baby onesies are prone to rips and tears, leaving an open spot that could wound your baby.
Rinse twice
In order to ensure that the soap in your baby’s clothes is completely removed, rinse them twice. If you are using a washing machine, only put water for the second rinse.
Dry them completely
Weather in Singapore permits any baby apparel to dry easily. Do not put damp clothes on your baby because it can cause fungal infections.
