A well-maintained childcare product lasts longer and can sometimes be passed on to another child. A few simple steps, adapted to each type of material, are enough to preserve its quality.
Foams (playmats, coverings)
XPE foam is generally cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, without full immersion or machine washing. Air drying, flat, prevents deformation. Find the recommended care details for a reversible playmat in its instructions.
Avoid direct sun exposure
Prolonged sun exposure can dull colors and weaken some foams over time. Storing the product folded, away from direct light, limits this phenomenon.
Rigid plastic (bathtubs, potty chairs)
Rinsing with clear water after each use, followed by complete drying, limits the development of mold in damp areas. A foldable bathtub stores flat once dry, which also facilitates regular inspection.
For a 3-in-1 evolving potty chair, periodic disassembly of removable parts allows for more thorough cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.
Why this maintenance matters
Extending a product's lifespan is part of a sensible consumption approach, rather than frequent replacement. To learn more about this approach, consult our guide on playmat usage duration or our about page. For any questions, contact us.
