One of mom's worries when purchasing high-end children's clothing is how to launder, dry and iron them in such a way that it retain its beauty and elegance and so that even after so many washing, it remains to look as if it is new. So here are some simple reminders to keep those clothing as beautiful and pretty as when you first bought them.
Launder your high-end children's clothing properly. You should always remember to wash similar types of clothing together. Before you start doing the laundry, make sure to segregate or categorize all the laundry into groups first. High-end children's clothing or the special garments such as your child's Sunday dress or smocked dresses may require hand washing but as times have changed, many modern washing machines have a "Delicate" setting that is perfect for heirloom quality clothing.
Also, do not stuff everything that you can into the machine. Make sure that you put in just enough because overloading the machine can prevent proper cleaning and rinsing. Add in appropriate amount of detergent, not too much and not too little. The amount of detergent you put in can also affect the quality of your clothes and you cannot afford that when you have high-end children's clothing in there, right? Contrary to what most people think, adding too much detergent doesn't get your clothing or garments any cleaner. In fact, it can even damage them.
Another thing that you have to pay attention to is the water temperature. You may think that the hottest possible water you can use to wash baby's clothes will help you to get rid of bacteria and germs but it doesn't. That's just not how it works. Water that's too hot can damage fibers and set in the stains, which I assume you would not want to happen especially on those pieces of high-end children's clothing that you have been so careful with. The best trick that you can do is to pre-treat any stains and use warm, or even cold, water which helps to prevent shrinking and fading.
Drying and Ironing your high-end children's clothing.
Most baby clothes require only moderate heat to successfully dry, and the same goes with high-end children's clothing. For ordinary baby clothes, make sure that all traces of stains have been successfully removed. Once those clothes are put in the hot dryer, any remaining stains will be permanent. On the other hand, these clothing and those that have "heirloom" status, it is most advisable for them to be air-dried on a padded hanger or laid on a clean white terry cloth towel.
Everything can be ironed, so as long as you use the lowest setting to get the job done although steamed iron can give the best results for these high-end children's clothing. Just remember to use distilled water with it to prevent mineral deposits from damaging the pieces.
You may think that it is such a hassle investing in these quality high-end children's clothing but most often, it is worth the time and effort that you spend for it to be properly maintained.
