Quick answer
Wash your ring sling in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, then air dry flat. Store it loosely folded in a dry, dark place away from direct sunlight.
Why gentle care matters
Ring slings are made from woven fabric that can weaken if washed too harshly or dried on high heat. A gentle approach keeps the weave tight and the rings secure, so your carrier stays safe for years.
The Peony Ring Sling uses a soft, everyday fabric that benefits from the same gentle routine. Skip fabric softeners and bleach—they can break down fibers and reduce breathability.
When to wash vs. spot clean
You don't need to wash your ring sling after every use. Spot clean small stains with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wash the whole sling only when it's visibly dirty or after several weeks of regular use to remove built-up oils and dust.
How to wash and store your ring sling
- Prepare the sling: Remove any removable rings if your sling allows. Close all snaps or buckles (if present) to prevent snagging. For ring slings like the Peony, slide the fabric out of the rings and set the rings aside. Check the care tag first—some ring slings have specific instructions for ring removal.
- Wash on gentle cycle in cold water: Place the fabric in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection. Use a small amount of mild, fragrance-free detergent. Select the delicate or hand-wash cycle on your machine. Never use bleach or fabric softener. If hand washing, soak for 10 minutes in cool water with detergent, then rinse thoroughly without wringing.
- Air dry flat away from heat: Lay the sling flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Reshape it gently. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or dryers. Do not tumble dry—high heat can shrink or weaken the fabric. Drying can take 12–24 hours. Flip the sling halfway to speed up even drying.
- Store loosely folded: Fold the clean, dry sling loosely and store it in a breathable cotton bag or on a shelf. Avoid tight rolls or compression that can crease the fabric. Keep it in a cool, dark closet away from humidity and pests. Never store a damp sling—mold can develop within 24 hours. Make sure it's fully dry before putting it away.
Product note
-
Peony Ring Sling: The Peony Ring Sling is made from a soft, warm blush chambray fabric that adjusts by sliding through the rings. The woven fabric requires gentle washing to maintain its softness and structural integrity, and the ring mechanism stays smooth when fabric isn't twisted or bunched during storage.
