Care Instructions for Mei Tais
How to Wash a Mei Tai Baby Carrier
Simple care keeps your Mei Tai clean, safe, and in great condition. Here's everything you need to know.
Which Carriers These Guidelines Cover
These care instructions apply to the following Mei Tai carriers sold at Little Zen One:
Didymos
- DidyTai
Girasol
- MySol Mei Tai
- WrapMySol Mei Tai
LennyLamb
- Wrap-Tai (Mini)

Spot clean first when possible
For minor messes, spot clean with a soft cloth and warm water, then hang to dry. Frequent full washing increases wear over time.
Machine Washing Instructions
Detergent
Use a gentle, unscented liquid detergent with no optical brighteners. If a detergent doesn't clearly state "no optical brighteners," it likely contains them.
Nature Clean Liquid
Fragrance-free, plant-based, enzyme-free.
Seventh Generation Free & Clear
No dyes, fragrances, or optical brighteners.
ECOS Free & Clear
Plant-powered, hypoallergenic, no synthetic fragrances.
Ecover
Plant-based and biodegradable. Gentle on fabrics.
No suitable detergent on hand?
Use Β½ cup of plain white vinegar instead β add some to the wash and some to the fabric softener compartment. It's a safe, effective alternative that also prevents detergent build-up.
What to Avoid
Do not use
- Fabric softener β coats fibres and reduces breathability
- Bleach or bleach-based products β damages fabric
- Detergents with optical brighteners or enzymes β breaks down fibres over time
