Tips!

1. Remove clothes from plastic packaging when storing. Let your clothes breathe!

2. Don't iron on stains or heat them as they may set.

3. Don't leave clothes with food stains lying around. Insects may damage them. Have them laundered right away.

4. Fabric conditionders may not be suitable for baby clothing. Read the labels and tags first.

5. Regularly clean your washing machines. These accumulate sludge and can prevent your clothes to become efficiently cleaned.
