When a newborn appears in the house, my mother finally realizes what a real washing is. Every day entire baskets of children's little things go to the washing machine, and then under the iron, and so endlessly. To wash was quality and safe for the baby's health, you must carefully approach the choice of detergent .
It requires:
- it is good to wash out stains, mostly of protein origin;
- do not cause allergies and irritation in the child.
Requirements for infant powder for newborns
How can mom find a good powder for washing a newborn's clothes? We study packaging:
- The content of surfactants in the laundry detergent should be less than 35%, otherwise these chemicals remain in the fibers of the tissue and cause a rash in the toddlers.
- Look for the inscription "hypoallergenic" on the package - if it's not there, put the powder back on the shelf.
- Do not take a product containing optical brighteners - they are heavily rinsed out of the tissue and can lead to an allergic reaction.
- If the composition contains oxygen bleach - it's fine, it's good to wash even hopelessly stuffed things.
- Smell the box. If through it you feel a sharp smell - such a powder you do not need. The perfume should be unobtrusive and pleasant.
- It is desirable that the powder be made on the basis of a soapy chip or soap solution.
- The liquid form of the powder is better dry.
- Pay attention to the storage conditions of the powder, whether the packaging is intact, or whether the expiry date has expired.
Safety of children's powders
Virtually all the powders for newborns, sold in pharmacies and large stores, have safety certificates, and they can be safely bought for washing. However, this does not exclude the individual reaction of the baby's skin to something "not good" in the composition. Then the powder needs to be replaced.
Also there is a probability of fake powders of popular brands. Therefore, never buy a product in unknown stores and shops.
