BapronBaby uses a polyester interlock that is permanently fused to what is essentially a plant-based "plastic". This unique film is both safe for babies and 100% waterproof. BapronBaby does not apply any sprays, flame retardants, or treatments to the fabric. This material is eco-friendly, andcertified for safety by independent agencies and by the CPSIA to be 100% free of lead, phthalates, and BPA. It's also approved for use with food.
For Quick Cleaning Between Meals: rinse the entire Bapron under water to remove all food/crumbs. Gently shake off water and hang, allowing it to air dry fully.
Deep Cleaning: BapronBaby Baprons are machine washable and may be tumbled dry on any heat setting. The material is so durable it can even be washed with bleach (just be sure to follow the bleach instructions)
** During periods of regular use, we recommend machine washing and drying your Baprons 1-2 times per week. If your washing machine has an agitator, we highly recommend washing your Baprons inside a delicates bag to prevent any damage.
Additional approved cleaning techniques: Vinegar solution, color-safe bleach, machine wash (any temp), machine dry (any temp), vigorous scrubbing. Please do not use wire bristles as it may damage the waterproof fabric.
Are Bapron's stain resistant?
They sure are! BapronBaby's unique fabric is not only soft, lightweight, and waterproof... it's stain resistant! However, in those times where you just don't have time to wash your Bapron immediately after a meal here are some tips to getting out possible discoloration.
- Lay Bapron flat on the counter fabric side-up and apply some dish soap to the stained areas. (We like Blue Dawn.)
- Get your dish scrubber wet and go to town on the Bapron. Really scrub it— this fabric is tough!
- Toss it in the washing machine and wash/dry it normally.
This should at the very least get 99% of the discoloration out. Doing this immediately after a messy/vibrant meal like spaghetti or sloppy joes is always best.
Can Bapron's be Ironed? Nope. Do not iron as it may damage the waterproof layer. Lie flat to dry if you'd like Bapron to be wrinkle-free.
