How to Clean & Care for Your Up Up & Grow Products

At Up Up & Grow, we understand how essential it is to keep your baby’s toys clean and safe. That’s why all our products are designed to be easy to clean, durable, and long-lasting. From our silicone toys to wooden toys, teethers, and muslin blankets, here’s your guide to keeping them in tip-top shape!

Silicone Toys: Easy to Clean & Chew-Safe

Our silicone toys are designed with safety and convenience in mind. Soft, chew-safe, and non-toxic, they’re ideal for babies and toddlers. Cleaning them is a breeze:

  • Wipe them down with a sanitising wipe for quick clean-ups.
  • Handwash in warm, soapy water for a thorough clean.
  • Place them on the top rack of the dishwasher on a mild setting for a deeper clean.

By following these steps, you’ll keep your silicone toys in excellent condition—ready for your little ones to enjoy, day after day.

Mould-Free Bath Toys & Books: Keep Them Fresh & Safe

Bath time can be so much fun, but keeping bath toys and books clean is crucial to ensuring your child’s safety. Our mould-free bath toys are designed to prevent the build-up of mould, but proper care is key to maintaining them.

  • Drain after every bath: After bathtime, always take your bath toys apart and leave them to drain in a well-ventilated area. A dish rack or a stand with good ventilation works best.
  • Don’t skip this step: If toys aren’t drained properly, mould can still grow, even with our mould-free design.
  • Easy to clean: Unlike other bath toys, our design allows for easy cleaning. But to keep them in top condition, consistent upkeep is essential.
  • Regular cleaning: In addition to draining, you can wipe them down with a sanitising cloth or handwash them in warm soapy water to ensure they're thoroughly clean and safe.

For our bath books, here’s how to maintain them:

  • After each use, wipe the books with a towel to remove excess moisture.
  • The silicone pages can be removed from the silicone ring binder, allowing you to individually dry them on a dish rack or wipe them thoroughly.
  • Make sure both the pages and the ring binder are completely dry before storing to avoid any moisture build-up.

Remember: It’s up to you to maintain the upkeep of our bath toys and books. Consistent care ensures their longevity and keeps them safe for your little ones to enjoy.

Silicone & Wooden Ring Teethers: Easy to Clean

Our silicone and wooden ring teethers are designed for ease of use and cleaning:

  • For the silicone part: Follow the same care instructions as other silicone toys—wipe, handwash, or pop in the dishwasher on the top rack.
  • For the wooden ring: Simply wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding submersion in water. Always dry the wooden ring thoroughly after cleaning to maintain its durability.

Beech Wood Toys: Long-Lasting & Robust

Our beech wood toys are robust and designed for active play. To care for them properly:

  • Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding soaking the wood to prevent damage.
  • Dry thoroughly after each cleaning session.
  • For extra protection, apply a natural oil like coconut or olive oil to keep the wood smooth and crack-free.

Organic Muslin Blankets: Soft & Gentle

Our 100% GOTS-certified organic muslin blankets are super soft, breathable, and gentle for your little one’s delicate skin. To keep them in their best condition:

  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
  • Air dry for best results, or tumble dry on low heat.
  • Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can affect the quality and softness over time.

Maintaining your Up Up & Grow toys, teethers, and blankets is easy with these simple cleaning tips. Regular care ensures that your child’s favourite products stay safe, clean, and long-lasting, giving you peace of mind as they explore the world around them.
