As the name of the brand points out, all products offered by Snuggle Me Organic are 100% organic, pleasant, and soft for the baby’s skin. To maintain their safety, you should wash them over time.
Their maintenance process is simple since they are machine washable. The most important thing to consider is their label, instructions on how to wash Snuggle Me Organic, and at which temperature.
It is important to use mild baby detergents that are hypoallergenic and safe for the baby’s skin. You can wash all Snuggle Me Organic products the same way, regardless if they are pads, swaddles, or stuffed loungers.
How to Wash Snuggle Me Organic Products
Snuggle Me Organic are 100% organic cotton products and can be easily washed in a machine. Ensure you wash them at a low temperature and delicate clothing program to avoid lounger deformation. Use the same baby detergent you usually use while washing baby’s clothes and dry the Snuggle Me Organic products in a dryer, same on a low temperature.
It is important to set the washing machine on a delicate program and a low temperature of about 30°C to 40°C. Remove the agitator from the machine (if any) when washing the Snuggle Me Organic items because it might damage and ripen them.
Also, you can hand wash Snuggle Me Organic items if you prefer hand washing or if you are just skeptical about putting these items in a machine. If you choose this method, pour the liquid detergent into warm water and hand wash the item. Never put detergents directly on the Snuggle Me Organic products.
For a deeper handwash clean, put the Snuggle Me Organic item in a basin and let it soak for an hour or more. Rinse the item with warm to cold water and wring the excess water before drying it out.
You can hang them up or machine dry the Snuggle Me Organic items.
Snuggle Me Organic Washing Tips
Removing stains
If a Snuggle Me Organic item gets dirty or stained, you should not increase the washing temperature or use stronger and abrasive detergents. Both options will damage the fabric and ruin the fluffiness.
Instead, you should try to remove the stains and dirt with a mild fabric stain remover or steamer. The steamer might be the best solution since it kills the bacteria and removes deeper stains without damaging the fabric.
Also, you can make a homemade cleaning solution by mixing white vinegar and laundry detergent free of bleach and dye. This method might be good for stains and spills, especially on the puddle pad, since it is mainly designed to protect the actual Snuggle Me Organic product from stains.
If you choose the white vinegar and detergent solution option, you should pour 1 cup of white vinegar and 3 tablespoons of detergent into a bucket of water. Place the stained product in the bucket and let it stay there for 40 to 50 minutes. Rinse and dry it at cool temperatures.

Protect the color
On the official Snuggle Me Organic website, there is a recommendation not to use detergents with brighteners among their ingredients.
All Dreft and Tide detergents should be avoided. It is known that these two detergents damage the organic colors and fabric used in all Snuggle Me Organic items.
When choosing a detergent for washing Snuggle Me Organic items, check the label and ensure there is no bleach, dye, and other chemicals that may ruin the organic color and fabric.
Washing the covers
All covers used on Snuggle Me Organic products are placed with a purpose – to prevent spilling and staining directly on the product.
It is generally a case with the feeding pillow and lounges. If you or your baby cause dirt on the case, you can easily remove it and wash it in a machine. It is recommended to wash the covers separately from other clothes since they are sensitive and may easily damage.
The washing process is the same, cold temperatures and delicate washing programs.
You should also use low temperatures for drying the covers, in case you dry them in a machine. If drying them traditionally, hang them up or lay them flat down to dry.
Adding heat to speed up the drying process will shrink the covers.

What if the machine wash shifts the filling?
Loungers and pillows are filled with fluffy polyester fill that might shift during the washing process or while the baby is constantly moving. You do not have to worry because you can bring everything back in place.
You can easily move the filling by pulling the fabric around the hands. Pull the edges up and give the pillow or lounger volume. The filling will get back in place easily.
My experience with Snuggle Me Organic
Having a Snuggle Me Organic was so helpful in my case. The lounger is like an extra pair of hands that you often need when you have a baby. You put the baby in the lounger, and it stays calm and hugged there while you finish some daily routine tasks around the house.
When the lounge cover got dirty, I immediately placed it in a washing machine. The stains are easily removed if you act fast and immediately. In most cases, my baby was spilling juices and milk on the cover, which were easy-to-take-off stains.
However, I stuck to the recommendations and washed the products only at cool temperatures and with gentle programs. The products were soft and fluffy like the first day I bought them!
Conclusion
All Snuggle Me Organic products are machine washable. There is no huge philosophy about how to wash Snuggle Me Organic because they do not require specialties.
Just wash them with mild baby detergent at low temperatures, whether in a machine or hand wash. Similarly, the machine drying process requires low temperatures.
