Care & Cleaning: How to Wash Baby Products Safely (Waffle, Poplin & Leather)
Gentle maintenance tips to keep Moremori items fresh, soft, and nursery-safe
care and cleaning Moremori: wash waffle cotton, poplin and leather safely
Babies are messy—spills, leaks, and the occasional blowout are normal. With beautifully crafted textiles like Moremori’s waffle cotton blankets, poplin bedding, and premium leather accents, the right routine keeps everything hygienic, comfortable, and long-lasting.
Caring for Waffle & Poplin Cotton
Moremori’s signature two-fabric items combine textured waffle cotton on one side and smooth poplin cotton on the other.
Waffle pockets can hold residue if overloaded with detergent. Poplin stays crisp and breathable, but benefits from gentle cycles and low heat.
Best routine (safe + gentle)
- Cold wash: Use cold water and a gentle, fragrance-free detergent.
- No bleach: Avoid bleach and optical brighteners for baby skin comfort.
- Delicate cycle: Turn inside out; use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
- Air dry preferred: Or tumble dry low. Avoid high heat to reduce shrinkage.
- Light iron (poplin only): Low heat, wrong side. Avoid flattening waffle texture.
Stain pre-treatment (no harsh chemicals)
Pre-treat with cold water + a small amount of gentle detergent. For stubborn stains, a short cold soak is safer than aggressive scrubbing.

General Tips for Washing Baby Clothes
Give items room to move in the washer. Overloading causes friction, which wears out fibers and elastic.
Choose cold or lukewarm water, then dry with low heat if needed. Avoid heavy fragrance boosters and fabric softener sheets for sensitive skin routines.

Cleaning Car-Seat Covers & Stroller Canopies
Important: A car seat is a safety device. Always check the manufacturer’s manual first and follow the seat’s cleaning instructions.
Safe steps that reduce risk
- Before removing: Take photos of strap routing to reassemble correctly.
- Cold wash cover: If the cover is machine washable, use cold + gentle cycle.
- Air dry only: Avoid high heat; it can damage backing and fit.
- Harness straps: Clean gently with water only unless the manufacturer allows more.
- Shell & crevices: Vacuum crumbs, then wipe with a damp cloth and dry fully.

Stroller canopies & liners
Remove frames if possible. Cold wash or hand wash. Hang dry fully before reattaching to prevent trapped moisture.
Maintaining Leather & Vegan Leather
Leather is durable but porous. Routine dusting and gentle spot cleaning prevent dryness and cracking.
Leather (full-grain / top-grain)
- Dust weekly: Dry microfiber cloth.
- Spot clean: Mild soap + distilled water, lightly damp cloth, patch test first.
- Condition occasionally: Every few months to keep it supple.
- Store smart: Away from heat/sunlight, in breathable cotton bag.
Vegan leather
- Wipe only: Damp cloth + mild soap.
- No abrasives: Avoid rough sponges and alcohol-based cleaners.
- UV caution: Store away from strong sun to reduce fading.
