Care Instructions

Please do not put your Flatout bear in the washing machine (even on a hand wash cycle) nor in the dryer. Always spot-clean or hand-wash your bear.

To Spot-Clean:

• Wait for a nice, dry and sunny day.
• Dissolve a small amount of sheepskin detergent or woolwash (i.e. non-alkaline mild liquid detergent wool wash) in a bucket of cool water (never use hot water) to spot-clean your Flatout bear.
• Dip a soft cloth into the water.
• Spot-clean the dirty mark (don’t saturate the Flatout bear).
• Gently rub dry with a clean dry cloth.
• Dry flat in shade (see detailed in step 7 below).

To Wash:

• Wait for a nice, dry and sunny day.
• Dissolve a small amount of sheepskin detergent or woolwash (i.e. non-alkaline mild liquid detergent wool wash) in a bucket of cool water (never use hot water).
• Slosh your Flatout bear up and down a few times in the solution. You want a gentle action of water moving through the wool to dislodge dirt particles.
• Rub gently by hand until clean.
• Rinse with cold running water.
• Gently squeeze excess water from your Flatout bear. Do not wring dry. Roll the Flatout bear in a dry towel to squeeze out any moisture.
• Lay your Flatout bear on a clean, dry towel, pulling it into shape, making sure it is flat. Allow to dry in the shade. Please be patient as this can take a day or two depending on the weather. It is important that it dries slowly away from direct heat i.e. direct sunlight and artificial heat as the hide can shrink and/or harden. Don’t be tempted to speed up the drying process. Natural air flow helps the drying process. Fast drying shrinks and hardens the hide.

Note: Please do not put your Flatout bear in the washing machine (even on a hand wash cycle) nor in the dryer. Your Flatout Bear from Baa Baby comes gift-ready in a sustainable and reusable bag.
