How to wash baby clothes in a washing machine

Nowadays a young mother would hardly agree to wash baby’s clothes by hand. And you do not need it, thank goodness for progress! Washing machines do this quite professionally. But there are nuances: it is necessary to choose the right washing program and to understand how it works and what results it guarantees.

Recently there was a report on a television channel about how some institution in a household washing machine

first offense – these modes are for home use only

washed the children’s clothes on one of the quick programs

second violation – these modes are only for tidying up a small amount of nearly clean clothes

, and as a result, the clothes became a source of infection for children.

What can I say?!

No wonder, because

The quick wash takes place at 40 degrees Celsius

, And in general, this mode is not capable of washing clothes and killing bacteria on them.

In addition, these poor owners probably did not even turn on the drum cleaning program, and if you use the machine intensively it should be activated at least once a month.

The saddest thing is that the conclusion of the report was not what it should be: the culprit was the washing machine, not the people who exploited it wrong.

Let’s not be like them, let’s be smart.

Let’s choose the right washing program, and we will be happy, I mean, and the clothes are clean and the skin is not irritated.

Many washing machines have a special program for washing children’s clothes.

What can the “Baby Clothes” program do?

What do we expect from the baby clothes washing programme, and what do appliance manufacturers expect from it??

Opinions may differ.

We want every possible stain to wash well, but for manufacturers, the SAFETY of the baby comes first.

That’s why children’s programs are:

• washing at 60°C water temperature
  

  wasteful in terms of economy, but for children, even European manufacturers do not spare

  .

• If it is a steam-capable machine, steam treatment is added.
• + One extra rinse to get all the detergent out.

It is clear that the choice of powder is up to people, and hopefully everyone uses special children’s powders, less aggressive than “adult” means.

Features

1. Please note, it makes no sense to use enzyme powders for this program, they “work” at lower temperatures.
2. In terms of laundry, children’s programs are closest to anti-allergenic modes, so you can wash adult clothes that way, too, if you “feel” the powder.
3. High water temperature is only suitable for cotton and linen clothes
   

   I hope that all your baby clothes are made of natural fabrics

   .

4. To wash children’s winter overalls or woolen blankets, this program is not suitable, you need to choose other modes, if you are interested in a good result.
5. The amount of clothes that can be washed in the Children’s program is almost half the maximum load of the washing machine in the Cotton program. Do not be lazy to see the exact figures in the instructions, because in the “overdose”, no one is responsible for the result.
6. If your washing machine has no baby clothes program, choose the Cotton basic program, set the temperature to 60 degrees, and extra rinse.
