The range of household chemicals in stores today amazes young mothers. And in order to choose the optimal powder for washing children's clothes, it is necessary to take into account not only the cost of the product and the brand, but also its composition. For the care of underwear for babies, you need to use the safest powders with hypoallergenic characteristics.
Ordinary detergents are not suitable for washing baby clothes. They can irritate the baby's delicate skin and cause allergies. In addition to hypoallergenic characteristics, the composition of the baby powder and the ease of washing it out are important.
What should be the composition of baby powder
Washing powder for baby clothes must have a natural composition. This means that the product packaging will not indicate that the product consists of fragrances, bleaches, enzymes, phosphates, surfactants and other substances harmful to the skin. As a rule, baby powders are made from natural soap, so they remove dirt well and gently affect the structure of fabrics.
The powder packaging must indicate that the product is suitable for use from birth. Washing powder for baby clothes should not have a pronounced odor. Of particular importance is how quickly the composition dissolves and rinses out. To check this, it is enough to do a test at home. To do this, dissolve a small amount of washing powder in a glass of hot water. If the water is cloudy, this product is not easily washed out of the fabric. It is not suitable for children's clothing.
Criteria for choosing a powder for baby clothes
Children's laundry detergents may have a mild aroma, but for this, manufacturers use food-grade flavors rather than synthetic ones. The smell of the powder can also be from natural soap, as a rule, it indicates the use of raw materials of low quality.
When buying baby phosphate-free powder, do not always consider the cost of the product. After all, even an expensive powder can be unsafe for a child's health. Before going to the store, be sure to read customer reviews, opinions of independent experts. And do not rush to buy an air conditioner for washing powder - it is not recommended to rinse children's things in it until the baby is three years old because of the too strong smell and complex composition.
If your son or daughter is prone to allergies, you can safely wash their clothes with powder. However, it is best to additionally iron the laundry on both sides while the garment is wet. It is advisable, after completing the washing in the machine, to set the rinse mode again so that the soap suds are thoroughly washed with water. It is necessary to wash clothes for children separately from those of adults.
