Make sure any solid “stuff” is already removed from your Lil Helper products and any snaps are undone before you throw them in the washer. If heavily soiled items that may stain or smell, we recommend a good rinse in cold running water before storing for wash day.
Pretreat any creams or oil based stains with a drop of blue dawn dish soap. Hand wash and thoroughly rinse.
Wash soiled products every 3 days to avoid odor and bacteria build up.
Small or delicate products should always be washed inside our mesh laundry bag, to ensure they do not get lost or become stuck in your machine's agitator/filter.
For a deep clean on heavily soiled items:
Pre-wash (short cycle) in warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) using the recommended brand and amount of detergent. We recommend Tide Original to Line 1.
Heavy Duty (longest cycle) warm/cold wash with proper detergent amount. We recommend Tide Original, amount depends on size of load. We recommend adding other items (bulking) to the wash to create a full load, for proper agitation.
For everyday, simpler messes (think spilled snacks or items you already pre-rinsed):
Regular cycle cold or warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) with regular amount of detergent
Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and castile or coconut based soaps that can make your gear less absorbent or damage the waterproof materials.
Hang to dry as often as you can, tumble dry low if you are in a rush!
