Baby Laundry Tips | Coin Laundry Raleigh NC
- Wash in cold water. Hot water can shrink clothes. It can be a bit harsh on all types of fabric. Even more, hot water can set stains that we might miss when spot treating before washing. Using cold water for each load of laundry will help preserve clothing and keeping items looking new and fresh!
- Turn clothing inside out to wash. Especially for handmade clothing, washing articles inside out is great for keeping the color bright, without using chemicals like a brightener or color bleach.
- Use the sun to your advantage. Air dry your baby’s clothing outside on a clothesline to take advantage of an Eco-friendly way to dry clothing.
- Use a baby detergent. Most baby detergents have a very gentle stain remover option, as well as a regular detergent that is safe and good for all babies with sensitive skin. It’s also great for moms and dads to use, as well!
- Check clothing before drying. If the clothing happens to be stained, check the outfit before drying to make sure the stain was removed. As we stated above, heat can set the stain, making it impossible to get it out. If the stain remains, wash it again before drying it.

Laundry is usually the last thing we want to worry about at that point. We do, however, still have to deal with the ever-growing mountain of clothes and towels that have made their home in the laundry room or closet. Thankfully, Laundry Express, coin laundry in Raleigh NC, can help you do your laundry! We do offer a traditional laundromat, but we also offer other laundry services to the Raleigh area!
