Having a child is a wonderful and demanding experience. It is important especially when it comes to ensuring the baby’s clothes are cleaned well, all stubborn stains are removed and natural detergents are used to avoid irritating the baby’s skin.
Washing clothes has been the most common method of doing baby laundry, but it is also worth discussing dry cleaning as an alternative method.
Dry cleaning is important for delicate baby clothes which need to be washed with extreme caution. There are certain fabrics susceptible to dry cleaning. You may consult with dry cleaning services in case you want to do it on your own.
The following kinds of materials need extreme caution:
- SIlk
- Velvet
- Wool
When washed using water, these materials are prone to shrinking, fading, and becoming deformed. The baby feels uncomfortable in such clothes. Dry cleaning comes in handy also when you have initially done baby laundry and discovered that the detergent used discolors the clothes. To prevent the clothes from further damage, you can trust professional dry cleaning services or the nearest dry cleaners.
The benefits of dry cleaning baby laundry:
Stubborn stains are easily removed
Perhaps the most preferred method of performing baby laundry is hand-washing. Well, it is okay to do so but the challenge sets in during the stain removal phase. It can get quite messy and become a torturous process.
Dry cleaning is a convenient way to get rid of all those stubborn stains that simply will not diminish with hand-washing. Greasy and oily stains on the baby’s clothes are dissolved in a powerful way in contrast to using water. This ensures that clothes are devoid of stains that are difficult to get rid of when doing laundry using water.
Hand washing of baby laundry can leave behind some stains making the clothes permanently stained. At times, even pre-soaking with detergent does not guarantee complete stain removal on the fabric.
Performing dry cleaning at home might not be a solution to removing stains on a baby’s clothes since a person might do only an average job. However, with dry cleaning using experts, it is doable. This is because the dry cleaning services have a wide array of information about different types of fabric and the best detergents to use to clean them. They also take time to ensure they have stain removal experts who know which is the most suitable stain removal chemical for the varied fabrics while at the same time ensuring the chemicals do not cause harm to the baby.
Lessens chances of contamination
When handwashing clothes, there is a high likelihood of mixing them with the rest of the family laundry. This can lead to using strong detergents that should not be used on baby laundry leading to skin irritation. Thus, a parent can opt to dry clean baby laundry separately using mild detergents to ensure that the clothes are well taken care of.
Quality cleaning standards are realized
Hand washing clothes is not only time-consuming but quality results are not guaranteed. In some situations, an individual is torn between washing clothes and taking care of the baby simultaneously. This can be quite overwhelming. An individual might end up doing baby laundry in a hasty manner in order to attend to the baby. Instead of going through all these hassles, dry cleaning can be a better option to ensure the baby is adorned in clothes that have a soft touch and look elegant always.
Dry cleaning baby laundry especially using professionals yields the desired results. This is because these dry cleaners perform an excellent job as they know the best techniques to use to remove stains that arise from breast milk and pooping by incorporating the relevant dry cleaning technology.
No more yellowing of clothes
Hand washing as already mentioned is not a very effective method of removing stains on a baby’s clothes. When clothes have stains such as those from petroleum jelly applied on the baby and are exposed to excess heat, the stains have the potential to oxidize and become yellow. Dry cleaning prevents this from happening.
Increases the lifespan of the clothes
The majority of people shy away from dry cleaning as they have the notion that it quickly wears out the clothes.
This is not the case. As a point of fact, dry cleaning is an effective technique in getting rid of stains and any other dirt on the baby’s clothes thus retaining their texture and color. More so, cleaning is done with utmost gentleness. There is therefore assurance that a baby can wear the clothes for a long duration of time before they become worn out.
Dry cleaning, if well integrated, can provide an amazing experience in cleaning baby laundry as well as offer a person the flexibility to engage in other activities.
