It depends

Can you wash baby clothes in hot water?

Use hot water only when the care label allows it. Warm or cold water is safer for many baby clothes, especially colors, delicate fabrics, and sleepwear with special instructions.

Care-label caveats

  • Follow flame-resistant sleepwear labels carefully.
  • Do not use bleach or fabric softener on flame-resistant sleepwear unless the label allows it.
  • Pretreat stains instead of defaulting every load to hot water.
