Strollie Care

Maria called the office yesterday and left a message..."Hi my name is Maria...I got stuff on my little brother's Strollie" will you call me back? Byeeeeee"

We love getting messages from clients asking "What is the best way to clean their new Strollie blanket." What soap cleans my Strollie best? Can I put my blanket in the washer with my son's stuffed animals? My daughter spilt milk all over her Strollie blanket in her carriage, if I dry clean the blanket will it still be organic? How do I put my blanket away for the season? Everyone wants the best for their Strollie.

When we receive a message like Maria's it makes us smile…:)

If you have a question about your Strollie blanket email and let us know. We'll do whatever we can to keep you and your Strollie happy.

Cleaning your Strollie blanket:

It's as easy as 1 2 3...

First:
Spot clean your Strollie. Apply a small amount of water onto the dirty spot and dab it with an organic liquid soap.
Second:
Rinse the soap from your Strollie with cold water.
Third:
Roll in a towel to remove the excess water…then lay flat or line dry. No Dryer.

If you would like to clean your Strollie in it's entirety: machine or hand wash in cold water with just a drop of organic liquid soap. There are many organic liquid soap options, we like Vermont Soap Organics’ Liquid Sunshine. Liquid Sunshine is an all purpose organic cleaner but sensitive enough for your skin. Ask for Bill he is very helpful.

Your Strollie is 100% certified organic, so be cautious when including any thing other than organic items in it’s wash load.

If the spot doesn't lift off your Strollie it may be time for an organic dry-cleaner. When finding a green dry cleaner make sure/ ask what process they use. If they say the pressurized CO2 process of cleaning, great! If they say we use perchloroethylene - Very BAD! This process may cause skin and respiratory irritations. The Environmental Protection Agency says this may be a "human" carcinogen.

Once cleaned and dry, your Strollie will be ready for another one of your child's fun adventures.

Putting your Strollie away for the season

The best way to store your Strollie is to first clean it. We have found a freshly cleaned Strollie, packaged in a clean Strollie Bag stores well for the off season. Even though organic wool is naturally dust mite resistant, it’s always a good idea to take the extra step when storing your Strollie for a long period of time. Place a small sachet of herbs with your Strollie blanket into the Strollie Bag (tie a handful of dried herbs in a small piece of cheese cloth) to help keep any other bugs out. They don't like the herbs...rosemary, thyme, lavender, and lemon grass scents. Since wool naturally doesn't take on scents or smells...the scented sachet won't last long on your Strollie once removed from it’s seasonal storage.

Cleaning and storing your Sleep, Sit or Stand Strollie blanket will ensure it’s enjoyment for many seasons to come.

Clean green, live well, love your Strollie.
