How to properly disinfect baby laundry in 3 steps?
Washing baby clothes shouldn't be taken lightly.
To avoid all sources of bacteria, there are simple, fast and economical methods to disinfect our children's laundry.
Find out how to properly disinfect baby's laundry in 3 steps:
1. Washing
I never wash my baby's clothes with the family's clothes.
In addition, I sort beforehand the clothes and linen that can be washed at 90 °, 60 ° and those which will only withstand 30 °.
Directly in the drum, I add a large handful of grated Marseille soap for better dilution and to prevent deposits from getting stuck in my laundry.
To perfume my laundry, I add 3 drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oil to my Marseille soap as I wish.
Tea-tree EO is also very effective in disinfecting laundry. This is what moms typically use to disinfect cloth diapers.
In the rinsing tank, I systematically pour between 1/2 glass and a glass of white vinegar.
Not only does the vinegar descale my machine but above all it is an excellent antibacterial for my laundry and an extra softener to preserve the soft skin of our babies.
We will avoid bleach and conventional softeners ... There is nothing more irritating for the skin of our babies.
2. Drying
Better two turns in the dryer than none at all.
I try to dry the laundry as soon as possible after the end of my machine. The longer the clothes are curled up and wet, the more bacteria are likely to grow.
And finally - I know you don't like to hear that word - IRONING. It's the thing of our grandmothers. Ironing is the obligatory final step to purify our laundry as much as possible and prevent a little moisture from remaining.
3. Storage
I do not yet have many solutions to ensure as much as possible that my laundry stays clean and purified in my closets. I still hung sachets there, not of lavender, but of dried eucalyptus leaves and lemon peels to purify the inside of my shelves.
I also avoid dust as much as possible. Regularly, I run my lightly vinegar microfiber sponge on the shelves of my cupboards and I dry well before putting my laundry back.
