How to disinfect baby towels

 

Q: I need several towels for my baby’s daily cleaning. I have been washing these towels separately, but it's taking up a lot of time and effort. Is it safe to wash them together with the rest of my clothes in the washing machine? Also, if I wash the towels at 60°C, will that help kill bacteria?

A: It's generally not recommended to wash baby towels with regular clothing. Even though modern detergents and washing machines have improved significantly, they may not be sufficient to fully protect your baby’s sensitive skin. At 60°C, many common bacteria, molds, and viruses can be reduced or killed, but this temperature alone may not eliminate all harmful microorganisms. Babies have weaker immune systems, so even a small amount of residual bacteria could lead to irritation or infections. To keep your baby’s towels as clean and safe as possible, it's best to wash them separately using a gentle, baby-safe detergent. If you do choose to wash them at 60°C, make sure to rinse them thoroughly and dry them completely. Additionally, consider using a dedicated baby laundry product that is specifically designed to be mild and effective for sensitive skin. This way, you can ensure the towels are both clean and safe for your little one.
