How to Clean Plastic Baby Bibs

Baby bibs are essential in keeping your little one's clothes clean. Cloth bibs are common and are thrown in with the dirty clothes to reuse again after you do the laundry. Plastic bibs, though, are reusable meal after the meal, even if they get dirty since they are simple to clean between uses. Also, plastic bibs usually have large pockets to catch food and liquids before they drop on your child's lap. Clean and care for your plastic baby bibs properly so they last for years and from child to child.
