Wash the bibs in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid washing the bibs with other clothing items, especially those with zippers or Velcro, which can snag the bibs. Do not wash the bib in hot water. Many moms make the mistake of washing baby bibs in hot water. Although hot water is the number one choice to remove stains, it isn’t practical because it can expand or shrink the material of the bib. This is because hot water cooks the proteins that are in the stains which results in spreading the stain instead of cleaning it.So for best results, always wash the bib in cold water.
Tumble dry the bibs on a low heat setting or hang them up to air dry. Avoid using high heat or the dryer’s “sanitize” setting, as this can damage the bibs and cause them to shrink. Iron the bibs on a low heat setting if necessary.
