Newborn babies’ clothes should be washed separately with specialized detergents because their skin is very delicate and sensitive. So, which baby laundry detergent is good and safe? Let’s find out with AVAKids in the article below!
Should you use a separate detergent for babies?

Young children and newborns often have thin and delicate skin, very sensitive to external environmental impacts. Therefore, using separate detergents is essential to care for and protect your baby’s skin in the best way.
Besides, babies’ resistance at this stage is often weaker and easily affected by chemical factors and bacterial invasion. Therefore, baby clothes and belongings need to be cleaned with specialized baby laundry detergents with gentle ingredients that cause less irritation.
In addition, children in the developing age often like to explore everything around them by touching or putting objects in their mouths. Therefore, mothers need to wash and clean everything with specialized detergents specifically designed for babies to ensure safety.

Guide to choosing a separate detergent for babies

- Prioritize buying baby laundry detergents and washing powders from reputable and well-known brands to avoid buying low-quality products that can affect your baby’s delicate skin.
- Choose detergents with mild fragrances from natural essential oils, ingredients that are easily soluble in water, and have a low pH to avoid sneezing, headaches, or skin irritation.
- Use products with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties on clothes and the ability to remove grease and sebum found in everyday foods or breast milk.
- Choose detergents and washing powders that contain little or no optical brighteners, artificial fragrances, or colorants to avoid irritation and damage to your baby’s skin.
- Avoid using detergents or washing powders containing fabric softeners. Because this substance remains on the fabric after washing, it can cause skin irritation, rashes, and allergies.

Notes on using baby laundry detergent
- Test the product before using it to wash all of your baby’s clothes. Wash one outfit with the detergent/powder first, then let your baby wear it and monitor. If you notice any skin irritation and suspect it’s due to the laundry product, stop using it immediately and continue monitoring.
- Use only enough detergent to wash your baby’s clothes. Also, dissolve the detergent in clean water before washing your baby’s clothes. Avoid pouring the detergent directly onto the clothes, as this can cause fading and damage to the fabric fibers.
- Specialized baby laundry detergent already has built-in fabric softening properties. Therefore, you only need to wash your baby’s clothes with the detergent and rinse thoroughly with water. No need to use additional fabric softener, as it can irritate your baby’s skin.
- If clothes have a musty smell, you can use scented wax melts (Glade, Aroma, etc.) or room sprays to reduce the musty odor clinging to your clothes.

Use only enough detergent to wash your baby’s clothes
