Viverano Organic cotton baby clothing and textiles are crafted with love and care, and they deserve gentle handling to keep them soft, safe, and long-lasting.
Follow these simple steps to ensure your little one's clothing stays as cozy and beautiful as the day you got it:
Washing Tips
-
Use Cold or Warm Water
- Wash in cold or lukewarm water (preferably below 30°C / 86°F) to preserve the fabric’s natural softness and prevent shrinkage.
-
Choose Gentle Detergents
- Opt for mild, eco-friendly, or baby-safe detergents free of harsh chemicals, dyes, and fragrances. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can damage the fibers and affect your baby’s sensitive skin.
-
Wash Similar Colors Together
- Separate whites, lights, and darks to prevent color bleeding.
-
Turn Garments Inside Out
- Turn clothing inside out before washing to protect delicate prints and designs.
Drying Tips
-
Air Dry When Possible
- Lay flat or hang the garments to air dry naturally. Organic cotton loves fresh air and sunlight but avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading.
-
Use a Low Heat Dryer Setting
- If machine drying is necessary, tumble dry on low or delicate settings to minimize shrinkage and maintain softness.
Ironing Tips
-
Iron with Care
- Use a low or medium heat setting when ironing, and if possible, iron the garment while it’s slightly damp for smoother results.
Stain Removal
-
Treat Stains Promptly
- For small stains, use a gentle stain remover or a simple mix of baking soda and water. Avoid harsh stain removers that could weaken the natural fibers.
-
Spot Clean When Needed
- Dab stains gently with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing, to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
Storage Tips
-
Store in a Cool, Dry Place
- Keep garments folded and stored in a breathable, dry space to prevent mildew. Avoid plastic storage bags, as organic fabrics benefit from airflow.
-
Use Lavender or Cedar
- Place a natural lavender sachet or cedar block nearby to keep garments fresh and free from pests.
By following these tips, your organic cotton baby garments will stay soft, breathable, and kind to your baby’s sensitive skin—just as nature intended!
