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.
