A WORD ABOUT BABIES

LAUNDRY TIPS
*Always check care labels for special washing instructions.
*Treat stains as soon as possible -
fresh stains are much easier to remove.
*Air dry stain-treated clothes.
Dryer heat can permanently set some stains.
*Be persistent! Repeat procedure if stain remains.
*Always test stain removal method on a
hidden area of garment, especially
fluorescent, neon and khaki colors
which are less colorfast.
*Detergents containing enzymes help dissolve
protein stains such as baby
formula, blood, egg or grass.
*Liquid chlorine bleach helps brighten
and remove stains on many whites
and colorfast washables.
Never use on wool, silk or leather.
Non-chlorine bleach is gentler and safe
to use on almost all colored washables.
*Remember, cloth diapers must
be laundered separately.
*Finally, laundry is a grown-up's job.
Keep laundry products out
of reach of children!
All cleaning processes involve some risk.
Adverse or unexpected reactions
