HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR WOOL BANDANA
The user guide for busy parents
1. Washing: gentleness is key
- Wool or delicate cycle: 20°C max is perfect
- Gentle spin (400–800 rpm, no more).
- Ideally in a laundry bag, to prevent it from doing parkour in the drum.
2. Detergent: special wool recommended
- Use a special wool or very mild detergent.
- No bleach, no fabric softener: your child's bandana is nourished only by their drool!
3. Option for ultra-careful parents: hand washing
- Lukewarm water: we give the bandana a mini spa treatment.
- Gently press, do not wring, do not rub like on a post-bolognese bib.
- Rinse at the same temperature to avoid the "bandana shrinks and ends up on the comforter" effect.
4. Drying: no tumble dryer under any circumstances
- Tumble dryer prohibited (even "just 5 minutes").
- Dry flat (on a towel is better!), in the open air, away from radiators and other heat sources.
- Reshape it with your hands, nice and easy.
5. Ironing
- Gentle ironing, inside out, with a cloth between the iron and the bandana.
- Or a little steam from a distance, like a "facial" for wool.
6. Pilling
- Some pilling may appear: this is normal, it's a real natural fiber.
- Gently remove with a fabric shaver or a small special comb.
- Avoid pulling at it with your hands (even if it's satisfying).
7. The magic of wool: antistatic and self-cleaning (or almost)
- Wool is naturally antistatic: it doesn't retain dust or odors!
- Result: no need to wash after every trip to the park or stroller ride (unless there's a disaster!)
- Most often, simply air it out: let it breathe for a few hours and it will regain a fresh "ready-to-reuse" feel.
8. BONUS
- It's a product designed for children: it's made to live!
- Well-maintained, it will survive several winters, a few colds, and a lot of compotes.
