Love It, Wash It, Wear It Again: Wrap Care Made Easy

How to Wash & Care for Your Wrap

One of the best things about babywearing?

Hands-free snuggles while you go about your day — whether it’s folding laundry, prepping dinner, or wrangling a toddler.
But with real life comes real mess: grease splatters, baby spit-up, diaper blowouts, or your own breakfast burrito making a detour onto your wrap. (Hey, we’ve been there.)

The good news? Your wrap was made for this. We designed it to handle the ups, downs, and daily spills of parenthood — and with a little care, it’ll stay soft, safe, and beautiful for years to come.

Washing + Drying Your Wrap

Yes, it’s machine washable!
To keep your wrap in top condition:

• Wash on cold, gentle cycle

• Tumble dry on low
  (Yep — the dryer helps maintain the fabric’s shape!)

• If your machine has an agitator, pop your wrap in a delicates bag

Pro tip: Skip washing with anything that has zippers, snaps, Velcro, or hooks — they can snag the fabric and cause damage.

If Your Wrap Has a Hole or Snag

• Avoid clipping anything to your wrap (like pacifier clips), which can stress the fabric.

• Holes in weight-bearing areas (like where the wrap crosses your back or shoulders) mean it's time to retire the wrap for safety.

• Holes near the tails, away from baby’s weight, are usually okay — just monitor them.

Treating Stains

Life’s messy — and that’s okay.
Here’s how to treat common stains:

Food/Bodily Fluids:

• Pretreat ASAP with an enzyme-based stain remover

• Wash on cold/delicate cycle

Grease (e.g. cooking oil):

1. Lay wrap flat and generously cover the spot with baking soda or baby powder

2. Let sit for 4–24 hours to absorb the grease

3. Spot wash with cold water and blue Dawn dish soap or Buncha Farmers stick

4. Rinse, then lay flat to dry in sunlight (only for spot-treating — not for every wash)

Already ran it through the dryer? You still might have luck with a second treatment.

Storing Your Wrap

Short-term (daily use):

• Tuck it into its own tail pocket, or hang it nearby

• Avoid tossing near Velcro, nail clippers, or sharp objects (especially in diaper bags!)

Long-term:

• Fold neatly and store in an airtight container

• Keep away from moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme heat
