Understanding the Material of Your Baby’s Pramsuit
Before you care for your baby’s pramsuit, it’s essential to understand the material it’s made of. Most pramsuits are made of either fleece or quilted cotton, with the former being ideal for colder climates and the latter for slightly milder temperatures. Some pramsuits may also come with a waterproof outer layer to protect your baby from rain and snow.
Washing and Drying Your Baby’s Pramsuit
To keep your baby’s pramsuit clean, it’s important to wash it regularly. Before washing, check the care label for instructions on temperature and any other specific care instructions. Fleece pramsuits can usually be washed in a machine on a gentle cycle, whereas quilted cotton may require a little more care. Hang the pramsuit out to air dry, being sure not to put it in the dryer as the high heat can cause damage to the fabric and affect the suit’s insulation.
Storing Your Baby’s Pramsuit
When not in use, it’s important to store your baby’s pramsuit carefully to avoid any damage. Be sure to fold it carefully and put it in a dry place away from sunlight to avoid fading. Avoid storing it in a damp or humid space as this can lead to mold growth and unpleasant odors.
Spot Cleaning Small Stains
For small stains or marks, you may not need to wash the entire pramsuit. Instead, spot clean the area with a mild detergent and warm water, being sure to rinse the area thoroughly and allow it to dry before putting the suit on your baby again.
Repelling Water and Stains
To help repel water and stains and prevent damage to your baby’s pramsuit, consider covering it with a waterproofing spray or investing in a pramsuit with a waterproof outer layer. Be sure to follow the product instructions carefully and avoid using any harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric.
