Fabric Care

The muslin fabric has recently gained popularity across different fashion niches, most prominently in the mom and baby industry. Muslin cotton has become a staple for baby products due to its softness, breathability, and versatility. To ensure that your muslin cotton items last long and maintain their quality and softness for mom and baby comfort, it is essential to follow the proper care instructions.

The first step is to ensure you reference the wash tag on each item. Then, before using your muslin cotton items for the first time, it is important to pre-wash them. This that the fabric is clean and ready for use and touch the sensitive skin of your little munchkins. After all, each item goes through a processing period which can pick up various irritants along the way.

Like any other laundry load, fabrics should be separated between darks and lights to avoid color bleeding. This stays true for muslin fabric as well. 

Follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer for the best results.

When it comes to washing muslin cotton fabric, using a gentle cycle on your washing machine is ideal, but a normal cycle set on cold to lukewarm temperature with low spin is also sufficient. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the fabric and affect its softness. Also, wash separately from other items which can catch onto the fabric, such as zippers and velcro. 

Avoid using high heat when drying muslin cotton fabric, as it can cause shrinkage and weaken the fibers. Instead, choose a low heat setting or air drying. Hanging the items to dry can help maintain their shape and prevent any potential damage.

If necessary, you can iron muslin cotton fabric to remove any wrinkles. However, it is important to use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with the iron. Place a thin cloth or towel over the fabric before ironing to protect it from direct heat. But who has time for ironing as a busy parent?!
