Has your teddy Inlay or Cover been washed yet? Chances are it looked slightly different after washing than it did before it went into the washing machine. Don't worry, that's completely normal. Teddy is a soft, delicate fabric that doesn't fare well at high temperatures or in intensive wash cycles.
Our most important advice: treat it gently. Use a mild detergent, wash at a low temperature, and choose a short, gentle cycle. This will keep your teddy accessory looking its best for the longest time.
After one or more washes, the fluffy teddy fabric may become a little flatter or clump together into small balls. Some people think this gives it that authentic, lived-in teddy look. Others miss the soft, new fluffiness. Both are perfectly fine.
Want to reduce the flattened look? A quick spin in the dryer can help. Choose a low temperature and add a tennis ball or special dryer ball. This will help loosen the fibers again.
Tip: always put teddy products in a laundry bag for extra protection. Preferably wash them separately or together with other soft materials. Avoid rough fabrics such as jeans or towels, as these can cause lint and damage.
Don't worry, you can make your teddy Inlay or Cover beautiful again. And it's easier than you think. All you need is a brush.
Gently brush the hairs loose with a soft bristle or nylon brush. The most important thing is that the bristles move smoothly and do not damage the fabric. It takes a little time (the perfect moment for a cup of coffee 😉), but then... ta-da!
Your teddy will look wonderfully soft and almost like new again.
This way, your teddy Inlay or Cover can once again be part of your daily cocoon moments, warm, soft, and completely ByKay.
