How to keep your Children's Clothing looking great

November 29, 2023

Say no more to those pesky stains and bobbling with our handy tips for your children's clothing 

There are so many ways to extend the life of your children's clothing. Not only can you keep those items in circulation, but you're also being eco-friendly! 

Coveralls & Bibs 

The best way to keep your clothing items looking top shape is making use of those handy coveralls when completing any messy activities. Garden coveralls are a great idea and bibs for meals too! 

 

Stain Soaking & Removal 

Sometimes its not always possible to prevent stains. In the warmer months, wearing coveralls may be a bit too sweltering too! When your items do gain a pesky stains, try to remove them as soon as possible. Read our stain soaking recipe by following this link. 

Soaking, treating and washing as soon as possible, is important for stains. If you leave it too long, those stains could set in! 

 

 

Wash inside out

A top tip for printed t-shirts, jumpers and fabrics that are likely to bobble, is to wash the items inside out! This will help to keep the prints and fabric in good condition by minimising the friction during washing. 

 

Drying your kids clothing 

Drying your kids clothing naturally is always going to prolong their life, but sometimes those chilly days mean the tumble drier has to be switched on. Just make sure you pop the printed items aside, to dry elsewhere and turn other items that are likely to bobble, inside out! A heated airer is a great way for drying those clothes without frazzling them in the tumble drier. 

 

 Pilling on clothing (Bobbling)

Pilling on clothes can be avoided to an extent by washing your clothing items inside out, limiting the amount of friction on the outside of the items. You also want to ensure that you are not overfilling your washload and washing at the appropriate temperature.
