Keep your newborn's first outfit soft and functional with simple washing steps that protect magnetic closures and modal fabric.
Quick answer
Wash your Magnetic Take Me Home Set in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry to keep the magnets secure and the modal fabric soft.
Why gentle washing matters for magnetic closures
Magnetic closures are designed to be quick and stress-free, but they need proper care to stay secure over time. Harsh washing or high heat can weaken the magnet pockets or cause the fabric to pill around them. The soft modal fabric in the Take Me Home Set is also prone to shrinking if exposed to hot water or high dryer heat, so a gentle approach preserves both function and fit.
Steps to wash your Magnetic Take Me Home Set
- Close all magnets before washing: Snap all magnetic closures together to prevent them from catching on other fabrics or the machine drum. This also keeps the magnets aligned and reduces wear. A common mistake is leaving magnets open, which can lead to snags or loose stitching.
- Use a mesh laundry bag: Place the set inside a fine-mesh bag to protect the delicate modal fabric and magnetic pockets from friction. This is especially important if washing with other items.
- Select cold water and gentle cycle: Set your washer to cold water and the gentlest cycle (e.g., delicates or hand-wash). Hot water can shrink modal fabric and damage the magnet enclosures. Check that the water temperature is truly cold, not warm, to avoid accidental shrinkage.
- Use a mild, liquid detergent: Pour a small amount of liquid detergent designed for delicates or baby clothes. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or powder detergents that can leave residue on the fabric or magnets.
- Air dry flat or hang: After the cycle ends, remove the set from the bag and lay it flat on a drying rack or hang it in a shaded area. Never use a tumble dryer, as heat can damage magnets and shrink the fabric. If you must speed up drying, place the set near a fan but away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
