5 washing tips for baby smocked clothing

1. Wash in cold water: This first one is probably a no brainier for most. Hot water can continue to shrink baby smocked clothes, and can be harsher on the fabric, as well as set stains our messy kids accumulate.

2. Turn them inside out: This especially rings true for handmade smocked clothes. It keeps them from fading and getting beat up in the washing machine.

3. The sun is your friend: Hang drying your baby smocked clothing outside not only helps them to smell awesome; it removes stains. The sun lifts them right out. Seriously, it’s like magic

4. Use Dreft for tough stains: They have a gentle yet effective stain-remover spray you can use on smocked clothes for baby before washing the stain out.

5. Don’t dry too soon: If you’re not sure a stain came out, resist the urge to throw the outfit into the dryer. That will set the stain. Keep working it out first.
