Washing infants dark Clothes with Light colored clothes?

Question

I just got a lot of infant and newborn clothing and I need to wash them before my daughter can wear them. Here is my question. Can I wash the darks with the lights? even whites? So far everything is 100% cotton. I have a couple of item that are mixed though. So can I wash them together and not have to worry about the colors bleeding? I don't have many darks, so I hate to have to wash just such a small load. plus the clothes are really cute, and I don't want to ruin any of the lighter colored clothes. Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

you must treat the clothes the same as you would your own to keep the whites retain their brightness, wash separate from the dark.

Answer 2

If you have a small load then just use a low water setting on your washing machine. Wash dark colours separately from light colours and use very little soap.

Good luck.

Answer 3

wash in cold and rinse in cold...new clothes do not require any heat and only a dollop of soap
