In this page you will find a simple guide on how to properly take care of our cotton and wool - cashmere garments to make them last for generations to come.
Taking Care of Baby Cotton Garments:
Sorting: Separate the cotton garments from other fabrics to prevent color bleeding or damage.
Pre-treating Stains: Treat any stains on the cotton garments before washing. Apply a stain remover or a gentle laundry detergent directly to the stain and gently rub it in. Let it sit for a few minutes before washing.
Machine Washing: Place the cotton garments in the washing machine on the gentle or delicate cycle. Use a mild detergent suitable for baby clothes. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener as they can irritate baby's skin.
Washing Temperature: Select a cool or lukewarm water temperature to wash the cotton garments. Hot water may cause shrinkage or damage the fabric.
Drying: Air-dry the cotton garments by hanging them up or laying them flat. Avoid using the dryer, as high heat can shrink or weaken the fabric.
Taking Care of Baby Wool and Cashmere Garments:
Hand Washing: Fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of gentle detergent suitable for wool. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
Soaking: Place the wool/cashmere garment in the water and gently agitate it to ensure the detergent is evenly distributed. Let it soak for about 5-10 minutes to allow the detergent to penetrate the fibers.
Gentle Washing: Gently squeeze and knead the wool/cashmere garment in the water to remove dirt and stains. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as it can cause stretching or damage to the garment.
Rinsing: Empty the soapy water, refill the sink with clean lukewarm water, and rinse the wool/cashmere garment thoroughly. Repeat this step until the water runs clear, indicating that all the detergent has been removed.
Drying: Lay the wool/cashmere garment on a clean towel and gently roll it up to remove excess water. Avoid squeezing or twisting the garment. Reshape the garment if necessary and lay it flat on a dry towel or drying rack to air-dry. Keep it away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Remember, it's always best to check the care labels and follow any specific instructions provided by the manufacturer in the care label inside the garment.
