Should you wash baby clothes separately？

Adults and babies have different clothing materials, different strains, and different cleaning temperatures, times and detergent ingredients. Some adult clothes (such as jeans) are not suitable for washing at high temperatures, otherwise, they will be discolored and deformed.

The baby’s skin is sensitive, the laundry detergent used needs to be mild and non-irritating, and the price is relatively high. If the clothes are washed together, not only the amount is large, but the cleaning effect on adult clothes may not be good. Therefore, in order to facilitate laundry and achieve better laundry results, it is more worry-free to wash separately.

Babies under the age of 3 have not yet fully developed skin, and have the characteristics of wear resistance, easy allergies, and easy absorption of foreign objects. However, adults are active outside every day, and there are many bacteria on their clothes. If the clothes are mixed and washed, it may cause Bacteria on adults’ clothes to attach to babies’ clothes, causing babies to suffer from skin inflammation and affecting their health. Therefore, the baby’s clothes should be washed separately, not with the adults’ clothes!

Babies are often held by adults, and their coats will inevitably be contaminated with various pathogens and microorganisms. Sister Yu recommends that you wash your baby’s coat and underwear separately, and wash the underwear first and then the coat. Be careful not to soak your outerwear and underwear in the same basin at the same time to avoid cross-infection.

The laundry detergent used by adults is relatively alkaline and contains harmful ingredients such as fluorescent agents. It should not be used to wash a baby’s clothes. If you use laundry detergents that are high in aluminum and phosphorus, you may also hinder your baby’s absorption of calcium. Therefore, it is recommended that you buy a baby-specific laundry detergent. It is recommended to choose the one with a lighter fragrance. In addition, when washing clothes, you should add an appropriate amount of laundry detergent according to the instructions. Do not use too much, so that the dirt in the water will not adhere to the surface of the clothes again.
