When we have prepared the newborn's clothes, we need to wash the new clothes, and we will explain how to do it in detail below.

First of all, we need to give our newborn a full laundry cleaning, just like giving them a bath preparation. Soak the laundry in clean water for a period of time, which can effectively remove dust and dirt from the surface of the laundry. Then, prepare a basin of warm water, add an appropriate amount of baby laundry detergent, stir well, and gently put the clothes in. After soaking for 10-15 minutes, stir again to allow the laundry detergent to work fully and remove bacteria and dirt from the surface of the laundry. At the same time, it ensures that the garment retains its original colour and texture during the cleaning process.

Next, we need to gently scrub the newborn's clothes, taking care to scrub all areas, especially those corners that are easy to overlook, such as necklines, cuffs and diapers. During the scrubbing process, we need to keep the pressure gentle to avoid deformation or damage to the garment due to excessive scrubbing. After washing, rinse the laundry with clean water to make sure there is no residual laundry detergent and dirt. This step is very critical because residual laundry detergent or dirt can cause irritation or allergic reactions to the newborn's**. Finally, we need to dry the newborn's clothes in a cool and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and exposure. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause damage to clothing. After drying, it should be put away in time and stored in a dry place to avoid damp mildew.

In addition to the cleaning process, we also need to pay attention to the following points: First, when choosing cleaning supplies, be sure to choose a baby-specific laundry detergent and avoid using detergents such as laundry detergent or soap. Because these cleaners may cause irritation or allergic reactions to the newborn's**. Secondly, we need to carefully check the quality and hygiene of the newborn's clothes before washing. If there is damage, mildew, odor, etc., stop using it immediately. In addition, when drying, we should choose a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight and exposure. Because ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause damage to clothing. After drying, it should be put away in time and stored in a dry place to avoid damp mildew.

At the same time, newborn clothes should be changed and washed frequently to keep them clean and hygienic.
