Cute baby smocked clothes are washed after buying
When buying new, mothers could not forget washing before wearing them for babies. If you let kids try smocked clothes without washing, their sensitive skin will be irritated. Most of us love new clothes. They are "perfect", for example, colors are bright, lines are crisp and pristine. So do you wash before wearing?
There are two good reasons to wash new cute baby smocked clothes before wearing. One is to wash out extra dye that can be transferred to baby’s skin or other garments and more importantly, to remove chemical finishes that manufacturers put on to enhance color or texture. The finishes won't bother everyone, but with baby’s sensitive skin they can develop a red rash. Children's clothing, especially for babies should always be washed before they are worn. Babies are particularly sensitive to chemicals. Plus, washing clothes will make them softer and more comfortable to wear. This is also applied to bed linens, towels, etc.
You can avoid some chemicals by shopping for organically produced
clothing such as Babeeni clothing. To see full collections of at Babeeni, you can access to
babeeni.com. But be sure to read
labels because not all cotton and linen and wool clothing are created equally. Manufacturers apply chemicals to prevent
mildew. They have a very sharp odor that will remain until the
garment is washed. One washing will not remove formaldehyde completely but you
will reduce the resin significantly.
If you have a tag on the one that has the line "wash separately before wearing", beware of dye transfer and color bleeding. Washing should remove the excess dye but check the rinse water. If color remains in the water, it makes take several washings to get rid of the excess dye so continue to wash separately. Smocked clothing from consignment or thrift stores should always be washed or dry-cleaned before wearing.
