I received a baby carrier! What now?

Now it's easy: wash, dry, use and abuse

To wash:

  • If possible with liquid detergent (to avoid leaving residue)
  • No fabric softener – adding a little white vinegar can help soften tougher fabrics
  • Few rotations
  • Low temperature

Dry:

  • Preferably without sun
  • Spread in zigzag (except wool)
  • Avoid drying machines (when possible)

Use and abuse:

  • No moderation
  • With much love

How to soften a cloth/ring sling:

  • Use as a car seat, sofa
  • Put under the sheets
  • Braid
  • Steam ironing

Tips :

  • Wash before use (no matter how tempting it may be, so that the fibers adjust naturally and nothing gets damaged :p )

Ring sling : 

  • Wash inside a pillowcase to avoid scratching the rings or damaging the machine or rubbers.

My daughter : 

  • Wash inside a pillowcase to avoid stretching the bands

Backpacks/ onbuhimo : 

  • And avoid frequent washing due to the sponges they may have.
  • Hand washing can be a good option.
  • To protect buckles and sponges, use inside a pillowcase.
  • Sometimes a damp cloth will do the trick.
