Secondhand baby clothes - was at 60° or 90° ?

[Marshmallow12345]

I've gone on a vinted buying spree for baby clothes, I can't decide whether to wash them at 60° or 90° when they arrive. What would you do? Thanks!

40?

You’ll wreck them at 90 or 60. They don’t need boiling.

Not 90. Likely they wouldn't survive. What temperature do you usually wash clothes at. I'd do 40.

You'll ruin them at 60° let alone 90°. You could use something like the Dettol laundry cleanser you can add to the wash if you're really that worried about it.

🤨 you will ruin them, wash at 40

30 or 40 at a push. Any higher and you’ll wreck the clothes

what are you worried about? You can get some washing powder with antibacterial stuff in I think if that would reassure you.

Unless you have reason to believe they are caked with Ebola then I'm sure a normal 40C wash will do fine

30 or 40. No need to boil them - they'll shrink!

Buy some dettol
Laundry cleaner

You'll ruin them!
40 degrees with laundry cleanser if you're really worried? 😐

Thank you!! My washing machine's eco setting is 40° so I just do everything at that. I've seen people on here talk about doing a 'boil wash' which is what made me wonder if I should use a higher setting. They're for a newborn so obviously want to be careful.

30. No need to be careful. 40 max.

30?

30/40 here. I saved 60 only for things covered in shit once baby was born!

I actually didn't rewash clothes from friends, only ones I'd bought.

40 and add napisan if worried about potential germs

I'd wash them more than once for a newborn if they smelt like detergent or softener

40 is plenty. I don’t know what you think you can get from clothes!

Iron them after washing x

40 is fine

The only things I washed above 30c were cloth nappies which I did a full strip & sanitise on following The Nappy Lady’s method I think it was.
