Emma Yow Lillebaby suggests to use only detergents with no brighteners. The best detergent I’ve found, that meets all their criteria, is the 7th Generation one I use in this video. It’s a gentle, yet effective detergent and it also doesn’t bother baby’s skin. It may work for him, I would try it out and see ♥️
kateschwanke Sadly, it gives him hives. The only one we haven't tried with him is dreft. I think he's the only one in the world who's allergic to the gentle detergents. Lol.
I just washed my lillebaby complete carrier per these instructions but found that once it was completely dry it was very stiff and not soft like it was before. Does this stiffness go away? Should I try washing it again and adding a softener?
Hi there! I always use a toothbrush and some of that OxiClean Spray I linked to get out the saliva stains! I never had suckpads, but my stains always come out no problem as long as I use this method. Hope that helps!
Your perseverance will pay off. Now it’s the time for you to reach your dreams and goals. 🙏
🥰omg I didn't know they made toki carriers
Love this. Your videos are always so helpful!
The Sensible Mama thank you!! I am so glad it was helpful for you! 💗
Where u buy ur baby carrier??
I have that same washing machine.
You tube has the answers to every thing
It really does! I find all my answers here too lol
Thank you!
What is the name of the mesh bags you are using? The link is right under the video navigation when you hover over the video, so I can't click on it.
Would it be okay to use a regular detergent on it? My boyfriend is weird and pretty allergic to tide and natural detergents, so I can't use them.

Hi! The soap may not have gotten completely rinsed is all I can think. I have never had any issues with them feeling stiff afterwards, though.
Stiff stuff softens up after a ride in the dryer on air fluff (no heat)
Why no dryer? The tag on the carrier says low heat in the dryer
It's always best to let a carrier air-dry. It will help it keeps it's shape, color and maintain quality :)
Can you send me the dimensions of your mesh bag?
Does this work for embossed lux? I have water like staining from not having suck pads. Will it cause water staining all over?

Can I use a pillow case instead of mesh bags?
Hi! You definitely can :)
Is there a concern for color bleeding? I've got the Tokidoki Iconic and I don't want to lose the colors or have them bleed!
Sheale Reedy Hi! I have washed my tokidoki Iconic CarryOn a few times now and I haven't had any issues :)
kateschwanke That makes me so happy to hear! I feel better now that I know I can throw it in the wash with confidence. Thank you!
Sheale Reedy You're welcome!
I have a front load washer. Should I still use laundry bags?
Note I would still, yes! It just protects the carrier from rubbing up against the washing machine :)
kateschwanke Thank you!
I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Do you recommend washing a brand new carrier before use?
Life With The Fultons Hi! No, I wouldn't say that is necessary! I always wear my carriers straight from the box.
