Caring for your Stacinator Fleece and So Simple
The
Stacinator fleece
is 100% polyester, which allows superior air circulation. This is why it works so
well as a fabric for a diaper cover. We all know how much wetness our babies
create, the fleece allows air to circulate through the cover and therefore, reduces
diaper rash caused by prolonged exposure to wetness. The Stacinator fleece is soft to
the touch, dries in a flash, and can withstand laundry abuse.
Ok...this just couldn't be any easier. Machine wash in Warm water,
cold, or hot. Tumble dry.
Fleece
is the wonder fabric. Dryer sheets can help to make it even more water
resistant. This improves the performance. The manufacturer suggest this as a last
resort though if you have some leaking. I normally wash my covers with any old
load of laundry as long as it isn't really soiled and needs special attention. There is
almost no wrong way to wash fleece.
Tip from the manufacturer: If you suddenly find that your fleece is leaking,
simply switch laundry soaps (use Dr.Bronner's for a change or even mild dish
soap). This should solve the problem. If it doesn't, Nikwax products will come
to the rescue.
Caring for your Stacinator Wool covers
Hand
wash your Stacinator wool cover in cold water with like colors. Hang to dry. You may have a
bit of shrinkage after the first washing. You may re-lanolize as needed. The
manufacturer
recommends using Eucalan wool wash to care for your covers. It has natural
lanolin right in the bottle. You never have to worry about when to lanolize. It
is done for you each time you wash.
**Note** Dark colored wool will bleed.
*tip from manufacturer* For bleeding wool, mix 3 cups white vinegar with 3tbsp salt, wet wool in
lukewarm water, add to vinegar/salt mixture. Microwave for two, 3minute
sessions. Allow to COMPLETELY cool, rinse in lukewarm water, wash, re-lanolize.
(if you rinse before allowing to completely cool, you may unintentionally felt
your garment)
