Follow wash instructions NEWARK, Del. - Children’s sleepwear up to size 14 must be flame retardant a law designed to prevent the tragic loss of children's lives. But parents often nullify the benefits of this law by using laundry methods that destroy the manufacturer’s flame retardant finish. Parents commonly believe baby clothes should be washed in soap to maintain their softness. Un fortunately, soap leaves a residue on clothing. And that residue can catch fire. To maintain the flame retardant finish, children’s sleepwear of 100- percent cotton should be washed with either a phosphate detergent or a heavy-duty liquid detergent, says University of Delaware ex tension home economist Roxane Whittaker. Sleepwear made of synthetic fibers may be washed in any type of detergent. Bleaches will ruin the flame retardant finish on most fabrics over a period of time. Read and save the care labels on children’s sleepwear, the home economist advises. By following the washing instructions carefully, you wdl maintain the garment as well as its flame retardant finish.
