From food and formula to spit up and leaky diapers, babies are pretty much stain magnets.
When to Clean and Disinfect:
Wash all new clothes and cloth diapers before first use and after each wear. Use Clorox® Regular Bleach to disinfect white and color-safe items.
Keep a Clorox® Bleach Pen® Gel stain remover nearby for a convenient way to treat stains on white or partially white clothes.
How to Clean and Disinfect:
Baby clothes do not need to be washed separately from the rest of the family's clothing, but cloth diapers should always be washed on their own.
- Wash and disinfect baby clothes and other items that come in contact with baby skin (like blankets, towels and sheets) in a mild detergent and disinfecting bleach for white loads. Use only the recommended amount of detergent (too much may leave an irritating residue) and the warmest water you can according to the label.
- Dry clothes thoroughly.
Clorox® Regular-Bleach can be effectively used on color-safe baby clothes. It kills invisible things like bacteria and removes body soil embedded deep in fibers. Be sure to rinse the clothes well. Some moms like to run the clothes through an extra rinse cycle.
Always read and follow precautions and usage directions before using cleaning products. Store cleaning products out of the reach of children.
