Washing a Babyhawk..

[Plumfairy]

.. Anybody know if its ok to put it the machine? I cant find any washing instructions with my BH and Laylas been sick on it so really needs a wash!! Just worried about the thick bit by the top.. Feels like cardboard in there...

i was wondering this 2, the only instructions i could find were for american washers. I just used a damp sponge on mine but would also like to know how to do it 'properly'

 

[Plumfairy]

Hmm I wonder if anybody knows.. What were the instructions for american washers?

 

[heidi86]

if its got cardboard in there hun i would just use a damp cloth/sponge x

 

[thelilbump]

if i remember rightly it was something a bit random like a 15 degree wash with a touch of detergent my washer doesn't go that low

 

[mommyof3co]

Put it in a bag...like those lingerie bags you know? The mesh ones? So it doesn't get all wrapped up. Then you can use mild detergent and wash it...I did it on cold. I dried it on low heat. You may also want to put a sheet in there that "catches" colors if you have a dark colored one...like mine is just black and white so I used one

 

[Plumfairy]

Thanks ladies! I'll see if my machine will do a cold wash. Would really like to freshen it up abit. x

When I had mine I put it on a gentle 30 degree wash and hung on the line carefully to dry and ironed on a low setting once dry.

They wash up really well - I did the same with my Connecta too and they come out lovely!

Out of total curiosity, what are the difference between our washers and yours?

[mommyof3co]

I think over there people generally have top loaders wheras here we have front loaders. I dont see how that would make a difference though!

 

[mommyof3co]

Front loaders are becoming more popular here and there is a diff between them and the top loaders we have...I know especially with the types of soap and how much you use, but not sure about the other stuff. I have a top loader. If you have a front loader you probably wouldn't need to put it in the bag I was talking about because there isn't a thing in the middle for it to get wrapped around huh?

 

[kirsten1985]

Yeah we have top loaders at work and stuff gets stuck inside the things in the middle, it is so annoying! I have to use a coat hanger to get stuff like socks out all the time!

 

[Tiff]

I've never had stuff stuck on the agitator in our washer, but I've had lots of stuff stuck in our dryer! It gets stuck in the crevices, drives me nuts!

 

[kirsten1985]

Lol I use fleece liners and they get stuck all round the top of my washer and my dryer, I keep finding ones that have been in there ages!

 

[TUDORROSE]

I've had mine in on 40 and its come out fine.
