Diapers
When using chlorine bleach for ¡¡oaking, add detergent to load. Avoid
overuse of fabric softeners. Absorbency will be reduced.
1. Rinse immediately. Soak in a solution of lukewarm water and a small
amount of detergent until you are ready to wash them. You may wish to
use bleach or a special soaking product when soaking.
2. Spin excess water from diapers before washing.
3. Wash diapers as you would wash white cottons and linens.
Elastic, spandex
Elastic picks up oil from the body. Oil can damage elastic. Wash often to
help reduce the damage. Use warm water and sufficient detergent to
remove oils.
Flame-retardant
clothing
Items will be clearly labeled as flime-retardant. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions to retain flame retardant qualities.
