Fire Safety

Washing & Care

Caring for merino is easy, but important to get right!

Washing

  • Machine or hand wash at 40°C max (low spin speed for blankets)
  • Use a wool-approved liquid detergent
  • Close any zips before washing
  • Turn the garment inside out to reduce pilling
  • Place in a delicates wash bag if you have one

    Avoid using laundry powder, soaking, bleaching, wringing, dry cleaning, or stain removers, as these practices can accelerate the biodegradation of Merino, causing holes.

Drying

We recommend air-drying merino. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as it can reduce the fabric's soft feel and may cause shrinkage.

Additionally, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent any fading or discolouration.

Storing

Storing merino correctly is important to keep it safe from moths, mould, dust, and general wear and tear. Vacuum closets/drawers regularly and store with Cedar Moth Balls.

Stain removal

Never soak or bleach merino or use stain removal sprays- even if you develop a stain.

To remove stains on merino, carefully dab the area with a cloth covered in a wool-approved detergent. Follow up by washing your merino as usual and the stain should come out.

Odour removal

Merino wool's moisture-wicking properties makes it naturally odour-resistant.

Odours often vanish on their own, but if needed, air out by hanging, lay flat on a towel to rest, or hang in a steamy bathroom to refresh. The less your merino item is washed the longer it will last.

ABOUT THE FABRIC

Merino sheep produce the finest and softest wool in the world, its benefits are so great that no other fibre- natural or man-made, can match it.

We use extra fine 100% merino wool, it's nearly four times finer than the average human hair. This means it's incredibly soft against the skin and never itchy. Merino is inherently breathable and temperature regulating, keeping babies warm in cold temperatures and cooler in warm temperatures, this makes it a great year-round daily choice as well as being perfect for sleeping in. It also wicks excess moisture away from the skin, is hypoallergenic, and odour resistant, keeping skin comfortable and dry day and night. Merino wool is also an environmentally responsible choice, being a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre.

Our merino is Woolmark certified

The Woolmark logo shows we meet their strict performance standards for fibre content, colour fastness to light and liquid, durability, and laundry testing. Woolmark certification ensures high quality garments that are 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable, with a traceable supply chain.

Our merino is OEKO-TEX certified

The OEKO-TEX 100 Standard is a comprehensive set of criteria designed to ensure that textile products are free from harmful substances. It covers every stage of production, from raw materials to finished garments, and sets limits on the use of chemicals that could potentially pose risks to human health.

Soft and cosy

After recently bulk buying a different brand of merino (which wasnt amazing) my expectations about Babu weren't that high.

When it arrived the first thing I noticed was the quality. It is soft, cosy and breathable. It fits and looks great as well. I cannot recommend this product enough and wished I had held off bulk buying a different brand.

I'll be buying all of my merino from Babu in the future.

Babu has been a favorite since the birth of my first child, all her clothing items still look brand new 3 years later on her younger sister. We have purchased both cotton and merino from Babu and they are unmatched in quality! And your sunscreen is the best - the only one my daughter doesn't react to! :)

Merino Hoodie

As a mother, I get such peace of mind knowing I’m sending them out in the cold weather, wrapped in 2-3 layers of merino wool - such a phenomenal natural fibre. They never overheat and they’re always happy when they’re warm and comfortable. Can’t rate Babu merino clothing highly enough!

Merino Hoodie

We had one of these for my toddler, and like all other babu merino we have owned the quality is perfect and long lasting. I wasn’t sure how they would stand up to toddler wear and tear but it has lasted amazingly, will see through my 2 kids at least, and wash up amazingly well given how dirty they get on a toddler who loves the outdoors. Have bought in multiple sizes
