I think you are really going to enjoy this little piece of laundry advice…. wash your kids coat at least 2x a month! Kids coats get SO grimy just wearing them, let alone if they ever have a snack on the road, brushing up against dirty cars in a parking lot, drooling on them.

Let’s Face it, kids coats generally look gross - but I have just recently realized how super easy they are to wash! Just make sure all the velcro tabs are stuck down, remove any fur trimming that may come off, zip them up (you may also need to turn them inside out) and throw them in the washing machine. I know it sounds ridiculously simple, but you would be amazed how many dirty kids coats I see! It brings me so much joy to pull them out of the dryer all fresh and muck free, I knew I had to share this one. Set it into your routine that if they need to be washed, wash them every second Friday (or every week if your kids are particularly messy - but remember that the more you wash them, the more they slowly lose their efficacy). Then have peace of mind knowing that your kids outerwear will look just as good as their clean, laundered clothes. They will feel more confident and will look great and are putting their best foot forward! So easy, and such a Joy!
