Our 100% organic cotton pieces have been stain-tested with great success. Always wash on gentle cold, air dry or warm fluff. Our garments have been pre-shrunk and remain in their undyed state. For the probable tot tough stain, soak in cold with a stain remover paste applied directly to spot (oxi-clean baby, while this is not eco-friendly, it does the trick and prevents the waste of an entire garment). Voila, ready to 'hand-me-down'.
