Tips for your laundry

Textiles have passed through many hands during manufacturing. Therefore, please wash new garments that have direct contact with the skin before dressing your child in them for the first time.

• Close Velcro fasteners (other parts could get caught).
• Closing the zippers ensures their future smooth operation.
• Turn printed, embroidered products inside out before washing! In general, washing inside out protects the Textured and color of the items.
• Wash removable parts separately.
• Turn inner hoods of jackets inside out.
• Wash multi-piece garments together, as color and Textured changes may occur.

• Sort laundry not only by washing temperature but also by colors. This prevents unwanted discoloration!
• Always wash new items with the same colors due to excess dye!
• Always wash dark Clothing Line separately!

We recommend always washing colorful textiles together with Clothing Line in the lightest color.

• The sooner a stain is treated, the easier it is to remove.
• Always treat the stain before washing.
• For delicate, colored fabrics, first test on inconspicuous areas to see if the color holds.
• Removing from the inside prevents abrasion of the fabric.
• Place an absorbent cloth underneath – preferably an undyed one that you change frequently.
• Work from the edge of the stain inward to prevent it from spreading.
• After stain removal, rinse or wash the textile – this does not apply to non-washable textiles.
  If in doubt, have it dry cleaned.
• For synthetic color stains (oil paints, dispersion paints, or ballpoint pen), use only special removers.
• Rapid drying of cleaned areas prevents the formation of unsightly edges. For example, use a hairdryer.

The most universal stain removers are gall soap, white vinegar, and lemon juice. Nothing more is needed for quick stain treatment!

• Blood: Rinse fresh blood stains immediately with cold water! Soak older ones in warm soapy water or very stubborn ones in salt water.
• Egg yolk, tomato sauce/ketchup, cocoa: Rub in with gall soap in cold water and rinse out.
• Chocolate, chewing gum: Place in a plastic bag in the freezer for about 30 minutes, crumble off and brush out. Treat residues with gall soap if necessary.
• Butter: warm soapy water is sufficient here.
• Bicycle grease, resin, tar: Rub in with butter, scrape off and treat with gall soap.
• Felt-tip pen: Rub in immediately with yogurt. Otherwise dab with vinegar and rinse well.
• Vegetables, fruit, grass: Pre-treat with vinegar, then rub in with gall soap and wash out lukewarm. Repeat if necessary.
• Fruit juice: Sprinkle salt on the damp stain and shake off after drying. Sometimes mineral water also helps.
• Spinach: Rub with raw potato, then treat with gall soap.
• Wax: Crumble off and iron between blotting paper.
• Discolored white laundry: Becomes white again with chlorine. Warning: Toxic!
• Paint, glue: Soak before washing.
• Grease, grass: Spray with pre-wash spray before washing.

• Fill the washing machine completely – it protects laundry & the environment!
• Use appropriate detergents for delicate, colored, and white laundry.
• When washing colored laundry, be sure that your detergent contains no bleach or optical brighteners.
• Wash functional fabrics and fleece with special detergent! This preserves properties like waterproofness and breathability longer. Impregnation protects the outer fabric from moisture.
• The dosage of detergent depends on water hardness and the degree of soiling of the laundry, less is often more!
• Fabric softeners are hardly necessary; functional fabrics and fleece even lose breathable and waterproof properties because of them!
• Do not spin mud clothing!
• Rinse swimwear thoroughly with tap water after each swim, as chlorine or salt can quickly damage the materials.
• Avoid rubbing too hard when hand washing!

• Do not leave colored laundry damp under any circumstances!
• Shape or shake laundry well before air drying or after using the dryer.

• Laundry can fade in bright sunlight – better to dry inside out.
• Do not dry swimwear in the sun.
• Turn items with lining inside out occasionally for faster drying.

Laundry with a crossed-out dryer symbol does not belong in the dryer. It could shrink significantly or pill.

• If the dryer symbol is shown, you can dry the Clothing Line in the dryer according to the dryer temperature.
• However, laundry shows slight pilling faster this way than laundry dried on a line.
• Never put polyester items in the dryer!

The dots on the iron symbol on the care label indicate the temperature range. If the iron is crossed out, the textile must not be ironed. It could become misshapen, develop shiny spots, wrinkle, etc.
