General fabric & hardware care
Ready to get your Babymel bag looking fresh again? Follow these super simple steps:
- Grab a damp cloth or sponge (but don’t go overboard – we don’t want water stains!) and wipe away any surface dirt. Keep rinsing the cloth to avoid spreading grime. 🧼
- Test a small dab of mild soap on a hidden spot of your bag first to make sure it won’t cause any stains. Let it dry naturally. 👀
- Once you’re sure the soap’s cool, clean the rest of your bag with a soft sponge or cloth. Just remember – no soaking or dunking! 🚫💧
- Blot away any extra moisture with a dry cloth.
- Let your Babymel bag dry completely in a well-ventilated spot. No artificial heat, please – that could mess things up! And always make sure it's totally dry before you tuck it away. 🌬️👜
Tips
Scuffs and Scratches: Our bags and accessories are tough, but they’re not invincible! Avoid dragging them across rough surfaces to prevent scuffs and scratches. The base and corners are the first to show wear – it’s just part of their charm. Think of it as your bag getting character points! 🌟
Painted Edges: Those snazzy painted edges might start to wear or crack over time, and that’s just the normal life of a bag. To keep them looking fresh, don’t hang your bag by handles with painted edges. Think of it as giving your bag a little TLC! 🎨
Threads: Threads at the end of a stitch line might loosen a bit – no biggie! Just trim them down if they’re getting unruly. They won’t hurt your bag, promise. ✂️
Internal Cleaning: Our bags have a water-resistant lining that’s easy to wipe clean. But seriously, don’t toss your Babymel in the washing machine – it's not a swimsuit! 🧽🚫
Changing Mats: Changing mats are machine washable at 30 degrees. Just air dry them flat – no need for any heat-induced gymnastics. 🧺
Zips: If your zip is being stubborn, don’t go Hulk mode on it. Rub a little clear lip balm or candle wax on it to loosen things up, then gently zip away. And remember, don’t use the zip pulls to carry your bag; it’s not a backpack handle. 🎒
Water & Heat: Keep your bag away from excessive heat. While our materials are water-resistant, don’t dunk your bag in water like it’s a pool party. If it does get wet, stuff it with a clean cloth or paper and let it air dry. 💦☀️
Attaching Your Bag to Your Pram: Use the built-in stroller attachments to hang your bag from your pram. No hanging from shoulder straps or grab handles, or you’ll risk a fashion disaster! For tips on attaching your bag, check out our stroller strap guide. 🚼
Velcro on Stroller Straps: The velcro on your stroller straps might collect fluff. Give it a de-fluff every now and then to keep it sticking like a pro. 🧹
Colour Transfer from Clothing: Dark clothes, like denim, can transfer color onto your bag. Try not to let your bag rub against these materials to avoid any unplanned tie-dye effects. 👖🚫
