Wash and care
Children jump in puddles, roll down hills, build mud cakes - in short: when children play, the clothes get dirty - and that's how it should be!Here are a few washing tips for how to wash and care for Småfolk products - also so that they last longer. Always remember to look at the washing instructions in the clothing, as there may be individual products that have different washing instructions than described below.
Washing Småfolk cotton products
We recommend washing our cotton clothes inside out and at a maximum of 30 °C. By washing inside out, you protect the print on the fabric and ensure that it remains neat and the colors fresh. We recommend that you let the product air dry, rather than in a tumble dryer or drying cabinet, as this extends the life of the fabric and the print.Our cotton products can be ironed at a low temperature.
Our cotton products cannot withstand bleaching.
Washing Småfolk swimwear
The UV factor in our swimwear is knitted into the fabric, which maintains the UV factor, swim after swim. We recommend that you wash our UPF50+ swimwear by hand and not in a machine, as machine washing can reduce the UV factor.Rinse the swimwear in clean, cold water from the tap immediately after the swim. Avoid drying the swimwear in a tumble dryer, drying cabinet or in direct sunlight.
Our swimwear cannot be ironed or bleached.
Washing Småfolk woolen clothes
Woolen clothes require less washing, as they are naturally antibacterial and reduce odour. We recommend that you wash your woolen clothes as little as possible and instead take advantage of wool's fantastic self-cleaning properties by simply airing the clothes before putting them back in the cupboard.If the garment needs washing, we recommend machine washing on the wool program at 30°C or hand washing in lukewarm water. For both parts, we recommend that you use wool detergent.
We advise against drying the woolen clothes in a tumble dryer or drying cabinet. Also avoid drying woolen clothes in direct sunlight.
Our woolen clothes cannot be bleached or ironed.
