Quick Answer
Wash your Ash Linen Explore Baby Carrier on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry flat. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat to preserve the linen.
Why Linen Needs Special Care
Linen is a breathable, textured natural fiber that requires gentle handling. Harsh detergents or high heat can weaken the fibers and cause shrinkage, while fabric softeners can leave a coating that reduces breathability. The Ash Linen Explore Baby Carrier is designed for everyday adventures, so proper washing keeps it looking elegant and performing well.
Step-by-Step Washing Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Carrier: Remove the waistband padding and any detachable parts (like the infant insert). Close all buckles and straps to prevent tangling. Place the carrier in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection. Always close buckles to avoid damage to the washing machine drum or the carrier itself.
- 2. Set the Machine: Use a front-loading or top-loading machine without a center agitator. Select a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water (below 30°C / 86°F). Add a small amount of mild, bleach-free detergent. Avoid using fabric softener, bleach, or stain removers—they can break down linen fibers and reduce breathability.
- 3. Wash and Rinse: Run the cycle. If your machine has an extra rinse option, use it to ensure all detergent is removed. Do not spin at high speed; a low spin is fine. Residual detergent can irritate baby's skin, so the extra rinse is worth the extra few minutes.
- 4. Air Dry Flat: Remove the carrier from the bag immediately after the cycle ends. Gently reshape the fabric and lay it flat on a clean, dry towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not wring or twist. Never put a linen carrier in the dryer—high heat can shrink or distort the fabric permanently.
- 5. Fluff and Store: Once completely dry, give the carrier a gentle shake to restore softness. Store it in a cool, dry place away from moisture. If needed, iron on a low linen setting while slightly damp. Ironing is optional—linen's natural wrinkles are part of its charm, but a quick press can freshen up the look.
