Wash Care
- Washing:
- Use cold or lukewarm water (30°C/86°F or lower) to prevent shrinkage and preserve fabric softness.
- Gentle cycle: Opt for a delicate wash cycle to reduce friction on the fabric.
- Mild detergent: Use a baby-safe, hypoallergenic detergent free from harsh chemicals and fragrances.
- Avoid fabric softeners: They can irritate sensitive baby skin.
- Wash separately: Keep baby clothes separate from adult clothes to avoid contamination with stronger detergents or residues.
- Stain Removal:
- Pre-treat any stains with a mild, baby-safe stain remover before washing.
- Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying:
- Air-dry or use a low-heat setting in the dryer to avoid shrinking. Air drying is gentler on cotton and helps keep the fabric soft.
- Avoid direct sunlight when air-drying, as it may cause fading.
- Ironing:
- If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with printed or embellished areas.
- Storage:
- Store in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric yellowing or fading.
These guidelines will help preserve the softness, color, and quality of the cotton set while ensuring it's safe and comfortable for your newborn.
