Using the right laundry detergent, doing only full loads, and washing your child’s clothing at the right temperature are just a few of the important steps in how to wash kid clothing effectively. If you don’t follow these guidelines, you could be causing damage to your child’s clothes that he or she will wear long after they’ve outgrown them. Follow these steps to make sure you’re getting the longest life out of your kids’ clothes every time you launder them.
Tips for Washing Kids’ Clothes
As a parent, you’re tasked with keeping your children clean on a daily basis. This often means doing laundry for them; here are some easy steps that’ll make it simpler. While kids’ clothes are similar to adult clothes in many ways, there are still several differences you should keep in mind when washing them. First and foremost, many of these pieces are small and thus easily lost or damaged; use an extra-large mesh laundry bag so you can see inside.
Start with water that is warm
Washing kid clothing in cold water is important because it ensures that detergent will not leave residue on your kid’s clothing. Washing in hot water can cause your kids’ clothes to fade and potentially shrink if they are made of synthetic materials. To make sure that you get everything clean, run your washer through an extra rinse cycle; it will help remove any soap residue.
Use less detergent
Washing kid clothing is a little different than washing adult clothing. Kid clothes are made of much thinner fabrics, and as a result, they wear out faster. Fortunately, there’s a way to wash kid clothing that can save money and make your kids happy. You should use less detergent when washing kid clothes since they wear out so quickly already. The same amount of detergent used for adult clothes will wear out kid clothes too quickly, meaning you’ll have to spend more money on replacements. It’s important not to skimp on detergent when you wash kid clothing; instead, choose a brand that specifically says it was designed for washing children’s clothing or use half of what you normally would when doing laundry for your kids.
Check on the clothes more often
Many people will argue that drying kid clothing outside on a line is best. But what if it’s raining or freezing? What if you live in an apartment? If you can’t put your clothesline outside, then consider hanging them indoors—they may not be as crisp as those dried outside, but they’ll be clean and smell fresh. It also won’t hurt to air-dry everything when possible; after all, hanging clothes inside is eco-friendly and much less expensive than running a dryer. Another plus: Drying clothing inside allows you to re-wear it more quickly; wet clothing that dries on a line may lose some elasticity and stretch out over time.
Dry kid clothes on gentle heat
While your dryer has a sensor that allows it to heat clothes perfectly, you can sometimes help it along. If your kids are spilling juice on their shirts and pants, for example, you may want to throw in a couple of fabric softener sheets. This will help get rid of wrinkles and make sure everything is dried thoroughly. You’ll likely find that a gentle cycle will do just fine with kid clothing, but high heat isn’t necessary if you use sheets.
Air dry inside, if possible
When your little one’s clothes come out of the dryer, they’re going to smell like, well, dried laundry. Instead of putting them away immediately and subjecting you (and your family) to that odor for hours on end, why not leave them hanging where everyone can see them? Hanging clothes helps get rid of most wrinkles and air-drying also prevents garments from shrinking as quickly as those that go into a hot dryer. Also, studies have shown that artificial drying uses more energy than hang-drying—which might be important if you need to pay attention to how much power you use.
Try vinegar in the rinse cycle
Adding vinegar to your child’s laundry can make clothing smell fresh, soften fabric and remove stains. Add 2 cups of white vinegar and 1⁄2 cup baking soda to a full load of laundry, or sprinkle vinegar directly on stains before washing. To naturally whiten whites, add 1 cup white vinegar per load of laundry. For additional whitening power, try adding 1/4 cup lemon juice for loads with lots of protein-based stains like grass or spaghetti sauce. Natural ingredients are a great way to save money and get clean clothes; you might find that your children are excited about helping you with their wash when they learn how easy it is!
