You can wash muslin bibs in a washing machine on a normal cycle. Use cold water for colored bibs and warm or hot water for white bibs.
Here's a more detailed guide to effectively washing your muslin bibs:
Washing Machine Settings and Preparation
- Cycle: Use a normal or gentle cycle on your washing machine.
- Water Temperature:
- Colors: Select cold water to prevent colors from fading.
- Whites: Select warm or hot water for optimal cleaning and stain removal.
- Fastenings: Before washing, zip zippers and snap snaps on the bibs to prevent snagging other items.
Important Considerations
- Avoid Velcro: Do not wash muslin bibs with items that have Velcro, as the Velcro can damage the delicate muslin fabric.
- Detergent: Use a mild, baby-safe detergent to avoid irritating your baby's skin.
- Sorting: Wash muslin bibs with similar colors to prevent color bleeding.
- Stain Treatment: Pre-treat any stains before washing.
Drying
- Tumble Dry: Muslin can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, air drying is gentler on the fabric and can help extend the life of the bibs.
- Air Dry: Hang the bibs to air dry, preferably in a well-ventilated area.
By following these steps, you can keep your muslin bibs clean and in good condition.
