Let's be honest: no matter how cute your baby is, sometimes they can be a little messy. Spitting up, sucking, drooling, and leaky diapers... it's all part of the deal. Luckily, your ByKay baby carrier is not only a stylish accessory for parents, but also super easy to keep clean. Yes, you can simply wash it in the washing machine at a maximum temperature of 30ºC. There's nothing complicated about it. Just wash it, and you're done!
We get that time is scarce with a little one in the house. But if you take a few extra moments to put your baby carrier in a laundry bag it really does last much longer. Plus, you also protect your washing machine from hard parts like clips and washers. Because let's face it, you don't want your washing machine to break.
Bonus tip: always wash your baby carrier with similar colors. Therefore, use the Navy laundry bag if you have a dark baby carrier and the Ecru laundry bag if you have a light baby carrier.
Well, so to speak lol. Close the clips on your baby carrier or remove the fabric from the rings on your ring sling. Then put your baby carrier or ring sling in the laundry bag, twist the elastic around it twice and you're good to go. It can be that simple.
If you take good care of your baby carrier, you and your baby can enjoy it together for a very long time.
Wash your baby carrier with equal colors or in the washing machine only. Use a fine detergent without bleach or fabric softener. Are there stains in your baby carrier? Pre-treat the spot with a suitable anti-stain agent.
And when the washing program is finished, remove the baby carrier directly from the machine. Never leave your baby carrier wet in the machine, as corrosion or discoloration can occur from metal parts or fake leather labels.
Hang your baby carrier on the laundry rack to dry thoroughly. And don't hang dark colors in full sun unless you like a tie-dye look 😉. Fabrics like teddy, rib and velvet can dry somewhat "flat. For a more airy effect, put your carrier in the dryer for a short time and slightly damp.
Are wrinkles forming? No problem. Iron your baby carrier on the inside, but stay away from labels and prints with your iron. Stick to these washing instructions and your baby carrier will continue to look great. Just like you, with your happy little one in the baby carrier!
Wondering what else you can do to keep your ByKay baby carrier beautiful and safe? A simple but often forgotten tip: avoid excessive washing. The less often you wash your baby carrier, the longer the fabric will stay beautiful. Small stains are usually fine to clean locally with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. This keeps the fabric strong and colors and prints wear out less quickly.
Does your baby carrier smell a little off, but doesn't look dirty? Hang it outside overnight to get rid of any odors. Another handy tip: fold your baby carrier neatly when you're not using it and store it in a clean, dry place. This will prevent unnecessary creases and wear and tear from friction or getting caught between other items in your bag.
Finally, check bykay.com from time to time. Sometimes there are new tips or advice, for example on how to maintain special editions or new materials. That way, your baby carrier will not only stay looking great, but also feel like new every time you carry it!
