–or–
Pre-soak with stain remover or sanitizer
* Pre-rinse and/or pre-soak may be helpful if item is heavily soiled.

Basic Wash Instructions
Be sure to wash your items before first use.
Please note: Speed of absorbency increases with 3 or more wash & wear cycles.
- Store until ready to launder.
Tuck into a dry, breathable spot (an unsealed pail, wet bag or mesh laundry bag work well).
- Unfold and wash with regular load.
Machine wash normal. Do not bleach.
- Dry with the rest of your load as you normally do.
Do not wring out. Tumble dry low. Do not iron.
*Avoid the use of fabric softeners in both the wash & dry cycles. They may leave a residue on the fabric, reduce proper absorption and increase your risk of irritation.
**Bluebird Pads are made colourful with low impact dyes that fade naturally over time. Low impact dyes are better for the environment and the integrity of the fabric.
