About Linen Fabric:
Linen is a naturally breathable and loosely woven fabric, known for its lightweight and airy texture. Its unique weave enhances comfort, making it ideal for warm weather. However, this loose weave also means the fabric is prone to slight creasing and requires gentle handling to maintain its integrity and charm. Always care for linen by washing it delicately and ironing it while slightly damp for the best results.

Hand Wash Recommended: Wash in lukewarm or cold water using a mild detergent. Alternatively, steam ironing is preferable for delicate fabrics as it helps maintain their texture and sheen.

Machine Wash (if necessary): Use the gentle cycle with similar colors.

Avoid Overloading: Linen needs space to move freely.

Drying: Air dry flat or hang; avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Ironing: Use a medium-hot iron while the fabric is slightly damp for a smooth finish.

Machine Wash: Wash with mild detergent in cold or lukewarm water.

Separate Colors: Wash whites and colors separately to prevent bleeding.

Drying: Air dry or use a low heat setting in the dryer.

Ironing: Use a medium to high heat iron for crisp results.

Special Care for Premium Fabrics:
Our garments are crafted using high-quality fabrics typically used for adult clothing, such as linen, Chanderi, and fine cotton. These fabrics are delicate and require extra care to preserve their beauty and longevity. Since they are designed with the same finesse and craftsmanship as adult garments, we recommend handling them with care. Always follow washing instructions, avoid harsh stain removal methods, and store them properly to ensure they remain as elegant as the day you received them.

Caring for Dark-Colored Fabrics

Dark-colored garments are crafted with rich, deep hues that may bleed during the first few washes. To preserve their vibrancy and prevent color transfer, it’s important to follow these care guidelines:

Wash Separately: Always wash dark-colored items separately, especially for the first few washes, to avoid color bleeding onto lighter garments.
Use Cold Water: Wash with cold water to minimize color bleeding and help retain the fabric's richness.
Gentle Detergents: Opt for mild, color-safe detergents to protect the fabric's dye.
Avoid Soaking: Do not soak dark-colored garments for extended periods, as this can lead to excessive bleeding.
Air Dry: Line-dry in a shaded area to prevent fading caused by direct sunlight.

By taking these steps, you ensure that your dark-colored garments retain their depth and elegance for longer.

Now that you have everything you need, it's time to start washing! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to wash baby clothes:

Sort the clothes: Start by separating the clothes into different piles based on colour and fabric type. It's generally best to wash white and light-coloured clothes separately from dark-coloured clothes, as they can bleed dye in the wash. Delicate items like onesies and sleepers should also be washed separately from sturdier items like jeans and jackets.

Pre-treat stains: If your baby's clothes have any stains, it's a good idea to pre-treat them before washing them. Gently rub a small amount of liquid laundry detergent onto the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before washing.

Load the washer: Once you've sorted and pre-treated the clothes, it's time to load them into the washer. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the maximum load size and the amount of detergent to use.

Choose the right wash cycle: For baby clothes, it's generally best to use a gentle cycle with cold water. Hot water can be too harsh and may cause shrinkage, and the gentle cycle will help to protect delicate fabrics.

Add detergent: Add the appropriate amount of baby-safe detergent to the washer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Wash the clothes: Start the wash!

Sort the clothes by size and type. This will make it easier to put them away and find what you're looking for later.

Fold smaller items, like socks and onesies, and stack them neatly in a drawer or on a shelf.

Hang dresses, pants, and jackets on hangers in the closet.

Use closet organizers or bins to separate different types of clothes and keep them organized.

Consider using space-saving hangers, like cascading hangers, to make the most of your closet space.

Label bins and drawers with a marker or tags to help you find what you're looking for quickly and easily.

By following these simple tips, you can easily and efficiently dry, fold, and hang your baby's clothes, keeping them organized and ready for the next use.

Chanderi is a heritage fabric, celebrated for its delicate texture, lightweight feel, and sheer finish. Handwoven by skilled artisans, this fabric embodies centuries of craftsmanship and tradition. The luxurious blend of cotton and silk makes it perfect for creating garments that are both elegant and breathable.

Given its artisanal nature, Chanderi requires special care:
Always opt for dry cleaning to maintain its integrity. Avoid harsh detergents.
Storage: Keep the garment in a cool, dry place, preferably wrapped in muslin cloth, to protect its delicate fibers.

Dry Clean Preferred: To maintain the sheen and delicacy of the fabric.

Hand Wash (if necessary): Use cold water and mild detergent. Do not wring or scrub.

Drying: Lay flat to dry in the shade to avoid losing the shine.

Ironing: Use low heat with a protective cloth layer over the fabric.

Before you get started, you'll need to gather a few supplies. Here's a list of everything you'll need to wash baby clothes:

Washer: If you have a traditional washer and dryer at home, you can use these to wash your baby's clothes. If you don't have a washer and dryer, or if you prefer to wash clothes by hand, you can use a large sink or basin instead.

Detergent: It's important to choose a detergent that is specifically formulated for babies, as regular detergents can be too harsh and irritating for their sensitive skin. Look for detergents that are hypoallergenic and free of fragrances, dyes, and other harsh chemicals.

Drying rack: After you've washed your baby's clothes, you'll need somewhere to hang them to dry. A drying rack is a convenient and space-saving way to air-dry clothes, and it's beneficial for delicate items like onesies and sleepers.

Laundry mesh bag: A mesh bag is a great way to keep small items like socks, bibs, and washcloths together in the wash. Simply put the items in the bag and toss them in the washer – no more lost socks!

Dish soap: If you're washing baby clothes by hand, you'll need mild dish soap to use as a detergent. Avoid using regular laundry detergents, as they can be too harsh for your baby's skin.

Drying baby clothes is as important as washing them, so make sure your baby’s clothes are thoroughly dried to prevent the growth of bacteria and mould.

Here are some tips to help you dry your baby's clothes safely and efficiently:

Sort the clothes by fabric type: It's important to dry different types of fabric separately to avoid shrinkage or damage. For example, cotton clothes can be dried on a high heat setting, while more delicate fabrics like silk or wool should be dried on a low heat setting or air dry.

Use a clothesline or drying rack: If the weather allows, drying your baby's clothes on a clothesline or drying rack outside can be a natural and cost-effective option. Just make sure to keep the clothes out of direct sunlight, as the UV rays can fade the fabric.

Use a dryer: If you don't have access to a clothesline or drying rack, or if the weather is inclement, a dryer can be a convenient option. Just be sure to use the appropriate heat setting for the fabric and consider adding a dryer sheet to reduce static.

Air dry certain items: Some items, like cloth diapers and bibs, are best air dried to prevent shrinkage and maintain their absorbency. Simply lay these items flat on a clean, dry surface until they are fully dry.

Don't overstuff the dryer: It's important to allow enough space in the dryer for the clothes to circulate and dry properly. Overstuffing the dryer will result in longer drying times and may cause the clothes to come out wrinkled.

Remove clothes promptly: Once the clothes are fully dry, be sure to remove them from the dryer or clothesline promptly. Leaving damp clothes in a pile can create the perfect environment for bacteria and mould to grow.

How often should you wash baby clothes?

It depends on the baby's age and activity level, but it's generally recommended to wash newborn clothes after every wear. All of the preferably in cold water.

How to remove stains?

Pre-treat the stain, use a gentle detergent, wash in WARM water, and consider using an enzyme-based detergent.

Note on Stain Removal: Using harsh stain removal treatments or chemical cleaners can cause prints and colors to fade. We recommend spot cleaning gently with a mild detergent and testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always avoid abrasive scrubbing or strong chemical agents to preserve the vibrancy of the prints.

Can you use regular detergent on baby clothes?

Yes, but it's better to use a mild, hypoallergenic detergent specifically formulated for baby clothes.

No, fabric softeners can leave a residue that can irritate a baby's sensitive skin and cause allergies or rashes.
