Petit by basics

Petit by basics is the junior line from the by basics brand, a danish family owned and run company rooted in the nordic heritage that upholds old virtues and high ethical standards.

How to care for your children's Petit by basics cotton clothing:

Wash cotton at 40°C (or lower) and use a detergent without enzymes and optical brighteners to ensure the best care.

Always wash inside out. Cotton should not be tumble dried as it ages the garment. Can be ironed at medium heat or at the two-dot setting.

How to care for your children’s Petit by basics merino wool clothing:

1. Choose the right detergent: Always use liquid wool detergent and steer clear of products containing enzymes and bleach. Regular detergents can strip away the natural oils in wool fibres, leading to potential damage and breakage over time.

2. Protect your wool: Store your wool items with cedar balls or lavender, especially if you’re not planning to use them for a while. For extra protection, place them in an airtight bag.

3. Option for air washing: Whenever possible, refresh your wool items by letting them air. Wool’s natural properties make it antibacterial and oder-resistant. Air washing is more a environmentally friendly choice, reducing water and energy usage. 

Always follow care label instructions in your clothing.
