Care instructions Baby Alpaca
Baby alpaca wool is an excellent material for baby clothing, not least because it possesses natural stain protection. This means that the fiber is naturally water-repellent, allowing liquids to simply be dabbed away rather than absorbed. Oil and other fats are likewise repelled, and baby alpaca does not attract dust, making it a superbly clean and low-maintenance choice.
Nevertheless, your alpaca garments will require washing occasionally. When that time comes, follow these straightforward steps to preserve the quality and longevity of your garment.
- Immerse the garment in lukewarm water with a mild detergent (mild shampoo is an excellent alternative).
- Gently squeeze the garment to wash it, but be careful not to twist or wring it as this may cause the garment to stretch and lose its shape.
- Rinse thoroughly in cool water and gently squeeze to remove excess water. Afterwards, place the garment between two towels and roll them together to absorb more moisture.
- Unroll the towels and gently reshape your garment to its original shape.
- Place the garment on a flat surface to dry.
It's as easy as that! Enjoy your baby alpaca garment - and learn more about the amazing properties of this material here.
