Quick Answer
Machine wash your Evening Bloom nursing pillow slipcover in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and high heat to preserve the print and fabric.
Why Care Matters for the Evening Bloom Print
The Evening Bloom pattern features a vibrant floral design that can fade if washed incorrectly. Using cold water and a gentle cycle helps keep the colors bright. High heat or harsh detergents may cause premature wear or shrinkage.
How to Wash and Care for Your Evening Bloom Slipcover
- Pre-treat stains immediately: Spot-clean any milk or spit-up stains with a mild stain remover or a dab of liquid detergent. Rub gently with your fingers or a soft brush. Do not soak the entire cover unless needed. Avoid rubbing too hard—this can distort the print.
- Machine wash on cold gentle cycle: Turn the slipcover inside out to protect the outer print. Place it in a mesh laundry bag if you have one. Use cold water and the gentle or delicate cycle. Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Hot water can shrink the fabric and fade the colors.
- Tumble dry low or air dry: Remove the slipcover from the washer and shake it out. Tumble dry on low heat until slightly damp, then remove and finish air drying. Alternatively, hang it to dry away from direct sunlight. High heat in the dryer can cause shrinkage and damage the elastic edges.
- Reattach to the pillow form: Once fully dry, slip the cover back onto your nursing pillow. Smooth out any wrinkles or twists. The cover should fit snugly—if it feels loose after washing, it may have stretched slightly, but this is normal. If the cover is too tight after drying, it may have shrunk—next time use lower heat.
