  • Always follow the label that comes with the clothing, there will be directions regarding the proper way to wash clothes, what kind of detergent to use, whether to hand wash the cloth or, machine wash would do. Following these directions would help you keep the clothing items in good condition for a long time. The same rule should be followed while washing reusable cloth diapers for babies.

  • Do not use the regular detergent, for your baby you must use a hypoallergenic detergent. The use of such a detergent would ensure that your baby's cloths, muslin baby bath towels, and other items that come with the contact with your baby's skin are soft and chemical-free.

  • If the items you are cleaning has some stains or, dirt on those then you should pre-soak such items first. Such as when you want to clean the bandana baby bibs, you must get the food stains out of the bib first by pre-soaking the bib in the water and get the stain out. Only then should you proceed with the cleaning procedure.
