When doing the baby's laundry...

Ok, my first piece of advice :

WASH BIBS SEPARATELY !!!!

I just did a load of laundry, and found that 3 different bibs have decided to velcro themselves onto some of John Anthony's cutest outfits, ruining them !!! I had to pull it off slowly and of course it made the fabric all strung out, and pulled apart, and boo hooo !!!!

IM SOOO ANNNOYED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain! I try my best to make sure all velcro bibs are securely closed when I throw them in the wash, but it doesn't always work. I have actually taken to washing bibs and burp cloths in with our whites, so that they get bleached - otherwise, I can never get the formula stains OUT! Plus, I don't care if a piece of velcro sticks to underwear, towels or a sock! LOL!

Good idea, Claudine !

I do hate when the velcro sticks to socks ! it gives them little runs sometimes !

Some of those stains are tough to remove. I use that BRUS Nursery stain remover in the spray bottle. $10 for a darn gallon ! Its pretty good if you spray the clothing right away.

How about putting those bibs into a laundry bag- like you do with delicates. IT would keep them away from other clothes. Not sure if it works well or not, but I figured I would throw the suggestion out there to you all.

Great idea, they work for the hooks on the backs of bras, I'm sure they'd work for the velcro. Sorry Anna

Good idea ! I thought of putting them in a pillowcase !
A lady I used to work with said she'd put her sons sneakers in a pillowcase and throw them in the wash ! Id be afraid to ruin my washer! (maybe I can try that at the local laundromat ! )
