Caring for Kids’ Clothes So They Can be Reused

Disclosure: I have partnered with Church and Dwight to bring you this post about caring for kids’ clothes so they can be reused. I have been compensated by them but I am a huge Church and Dwight fan and use their products in my home on a regular basis. All opinions are my own. 

I’ve talked before about practical ways to save money on kids’ clothes and one of the best ways is to be able to use hand-me-downs instead of buying all new clothing for your children. Just as important as getting new clothes for your kids, is passing down your kids’ old clothes that are in great shape! Here are some simple and affordable ways to keep your kid’s clothes in great condition, and hand-me-down ready:

Keep your kids’ clothes vibrant – pass on the best hand-me-downs!

 

1. Host a clothing swap. Gather all your friends and have a clothes swap. Everybody can bring their kid’s old clothes that they have either outgrown or are simply tired of. It gives you and your friends the chance to catch-up and socialize while refreshing your kids wardrobe and saving money. Bonus: gather your friends who wear the same size as you do for a clothes swap of your own!

2. Keep it in the family. At the end of every season, have your children pack away any clothes that are getting too small for them. Label the box with the date and season so in a few years, when your next child is ready for a new outfit, you know exactly where to find them. Make sure to wash everything before you store it away, so that it is clean and fresh when you pull it out of storage.

Pro Tip: OxiCleanTM Foam Pre-treat rids your children’s clothes of tough dried on stains – even grease!

3. Embrace the bold colours. Fun, bright and colourful spring clothes can lose their vibrancy quickly during the year – making it hard to pass them on. The right laundry detergent can go a long way in caring for clothes.

Pro Tip: Upgrade from ordinary detergents and give your kids clothes a high definition clean with OxiCleanTM HDTM Laundry Detergent (available in liquid and paks). It will ensure your whites stay radiant and your colours vibrant.
