How to Wash an Ergobaby Baby Carrier: Instructions & Tips
When your baby carrier is in daily use, it's bound to pick up spills, stains, and everyday messes. Whether it’s spit-up, snack mishaps, or a diaper emergency, keeping your Ergobaby carrier clean is key to maintaining its quality and comfort for both you and your baby.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to spot clean, machine wash, and properly maintain your carrier to keep it fresh and functional.
How often can I wash my carrier?
Ergobaby carriers are designed to be durable and easy to clean. While you don’t need to wash your carrier after every use, spot cleaning stains or areas of frequent contact is recommended to minimize wear and tear. We also recommend washing your carrier once before its first use. After that, only machine wash when absolutely necessary to protect the environment and extend the life of your baby carrier.
