CARE GUIDE

For Organic Cotton

Organic baby clothes is beneficial for a number of reasons. Garments made from organic cotton are soft, hypoallergenic and free of any nasty chemicals. So when it comes to cleaning these garments, it’s easy to feel apprehensive about damaging the soft fibres.

Conventional textiles are treated with chemicals to prevent shrinkage. As our organic baby clothes are chemical-free, we’d suggest washing on a low heat to keep the shape. A 40°C cycle will remove stains and also save energy, which is good for the environment.

Avoid powerful washing machine detergents, as they are packed with harmful chemicals. Not only are these bad for your little ones; they’ll also degrade the fibres and dyes in your organic baby clothes. Opt for a mild, eco-friendly washing detergent. If you previously used a non-eco detergent, put your empty washing machine through a rinse cycle before washing organic garments.

Drying organic baby clothes at a high temperature will also lead to shrinkage, so air dry where possible. If you’re in a rush, run your tumble dryer on an air cycle which uses no heat.

Organic Cotton fabric are relatively easy to care for and maintain as long as you are mindful. Rest assured mommies because you have chosen the best fabric in the world to protect and be a part of you babies' daily milestone.

For Bamboo

Care Guide for Bamboo is very similar to Organic Cotton. Best to avoid hard washing and high heat.

For Tencel Micromodal

Pretreat

Treat stains with Stain Solution or the Wash & Stain Bar. Focus on susceptible areas such as underarms, necklines, and cuffs.

Stain Solution is ideal for protein and tannin stains, such as wine, coffee, ink, grass, urine, blood, and old, set-in stains such as pit stains.

The Wash & Stain Bar works the material to remove dirt, grease, oil, and makeup.

To remove odor, presoak the item for 30 minutes in cool water mixed with ¼ cup of Scented Vinegar.

Handwash

Handwashing is always the best and safest method for washing Tencel.

Add 2 capfuls or a squirt of Delicate Wash to a washbasin or sink filled with cool water.

Submerge the item and gently agitate the water with your hands to evenly distribute soap. Soak for up to 30 minutes.

Rinse well by running cool water through the item until the water is no longer soapy.

Do not wring. Instead, press the water out of the item.

Machine Wash

Turn the item inside out, and place it in a Mesh Washing Bag Bundle. Select the delicate cycle on the washing machine, and make sure the water temperature is cold and the spin is on low.

Add the appropriate amount of Delicate Wash according to the machine and load size.

For especially sweaty, dirty, or musty items, add 2 capfuls of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative and use a normal cycle.

Dry & Finish

Machine dry at a medium setting, or hang to dry.

Tencel is resistant to wrinkles; if any wrinkles appear, we recommend steaming for the best and safest finish.

To iron, hover over the item using the steam setting, or press using a warm setting.

To freshen between launderings, spritz with Delicate Spray.

Store

Knit items should be stored folded to prevent stretching or distorting. Woven items such as pants can be hung.

Always store items clean.

We recommend storing in a breathable cotton storage bag to protect items from bugs.

Storing in plastic encourages yellowing and can trap mildew-causing moisture, a prime environment for bugs.

All techniques are based on textile science. Not all garments perform and react as science would predict.
