Blogger Moms and Dads Unite!

Lindsey is expecting her first baby soon so she is going
to be our “Resident Mom” here at The Laundress.

She has been preparing for the baby by cleaning and prepping all hand-me-down pieces, washing new items, removing stains from family heirloom pieces, etc. Lindsey will blog about her experiences and all the fun messes her bundle of joy brings, and help all the fellow mothers tackle all stains and cleaning dilemmas from formula to baby food.

So be sure to follow The Laundress Baby Blog because mother knows best, especially about laundry!

Washing Hand-Me-Downs

No need to worry about throwing away old, stained baby clothing. You can still use it as a hand-me-down for your or a friend’s baby. With The Laundress products, getting out aged formula or baby food stains is a cinch!

BeforeOur publicist Bell is expecting her first baby this February, and her sister-in-law sent her a few hand-me-downs that will look good as new by following the below process…

Pre-treat the area with The Laundress Stain Solution directly on the stained area. You may want to use The Laundress Stain Brush for additional agitation to really work The Stain Solution into the stain.
Fill The Laundress Wash Basin or a bucket with hot water/boiling if possible. This is only for cotton and linen fabrics. Other fabrics should be washed in a tepid or cool bath.
Mix 1 capful of The Laundress Bleach Alternative Classic into the basin.

Submerge the item into the water and let soak for 1 hour. Repeat the process if you see that stains are still there.

Place the sacs on a long, hot cycle using The Laundress Baby Detergent.

AfterDo not dry unless the stain has been removed, and to prevent stains from setting in, in the future, just apply Stain Solution directly on to new stains before they are laundered.

Cleaning Antique/Heirloom Linens

Washing Antique Linens*
*this process is for cotton and linen only synthetic and silk may need different treatment.
Lindsey has been washing and treating lots of vintage linens from her family textiles.

They have been turning out amazingly well...see below how to treat textiles from tablecloths to christening gowns.

Before:

After:

-Prepare a bath of hot water with The Laundress Bleach Alternative. Add at least 2 capfuls depending on size of soaking basin.

-Apply Stain Solution directly on the stained areas - plunge textile into bath. Soak and sit for about 20 minutes. The first bath is the shortest as you will want to dump it out to remove the very dirty water and repeat with a clean bath.

-Repeat 1 or 2 more times until satisfied. Soaking longer each time is good too.

-Launder after with the appropriate detergent - Whites or Signature.
*we do not recommend using fabric softener or other products with the pieces.

*Do not starch if you are planning on storing again (a lot of the stains and damage you are removing is from the old starch.)

-Hang to dry, do not use the dryer.

-Press while damp.
