Q
How do I wash my sling?
A
Cotton and cotton blend slings:  Machine wash warm, tumble dry or hang to dry.
Silk slings:  Hand wash or machine wash in cold with delicate cycle.  Hang to dry.
Water slings/Solarveil slings:  Machine wash cool, hang to dry.

Q
Can I put the rings in the washer or dryer?
A
To minimize banging, pull a thick sock over the rings.

Q
Do I have to iron my sling?
A
Minimize wrinkling by not over-loading the machine.  Use a delicate cycle to 
reduce the agitation in the washer.  Remove promptly from the dryer for fewer 
wrinkles.

 Lighter-weight fabrics will tend to wrinkle more.  Just quickly iron the tail to give 
your sling that new look.  Baby's weight will "iron" out the body of the sling.

Q
Will my sling shrink?
A
Water slings, solarveil slings and batik slings do not shrink.

Cotton, linen/cotton, hemp/cotton slings shrink approximately 2 inches in length.  
This amount has been added to the length during manufacturing.
