Learn how to wash, dry, and reinstall your Clek Ziip fabric cover set without shrinking or damaging the fabric. Step-by-step care for Liing, Liingo, Foonf, and Fllo.
Quick answer
Unzip the cover, machine wash it on low or gentle, and let it air dry before zipping it back on. Spot-clean small messes first so you don't over-wash the fabric. Always confirm the cover is fully dry and correctly reattached before your child rides in the seat.
What you need before you start
Gather a few basics: a mild, fragrance-free detergent, a soft cloth or sponge for spot cleaning, and a clear space to lay the cover flat. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and harsh stain removers, which can leave residue against your child's skin and break down the fabric over time. If you are washing a full set, keep the primary cover, harness pads, and any body support pieces together so nothing gets misplaced.
How to spot-clean without removing the cover
For crumbs, spit-up, or a single spill, you often do not need a full wash. Unzip the cover only as far as needed, wipe the soiled area with a damp cloth and a drop of mild detergent, then blot dry. Work from the outside of the stain inward so you do not spread it. Let the area air dry completely before zipping the cover back into place.
How to remove and wash the cover set
Unzip the cover and pull it away from the seat shell, then remove the harness pads and any body support pieces included in the set. Machine wash on low or gentle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. If your set includes a newborn body support system or headrest, wash those pieces the same way as the primary cover unless the care label says otherwise.
How to dry and reinstall the cover
Air dry the cover flat or line dry it. Do not put it in a dryer, because heat can shrink or warp the fabric and make it hard to zip back on. Once the cover is completely dry, slide it back onto the seat, align the harness openings, and zip it closed. Reattach the harness pads and any support pieces, then check that the harness straps are not twisted and that the cover is not blocking the buckle or adjuster.
Step-by-step Ziip cover care
- Check the care label: Before washing, read the care tag on your Ziip cover set. It confirms the low or gentle machine wash instruction and any piece-specific limits. If the label is missing or unreadable, wash on the gentlest cycle and air dry.
- Spot-clean first: Treat small stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent before committing to a full wash. This saves wear on the fabric and shortens drying time. Blot, don't scrub, to avoid pilling the fabric.
- Unzip and remove the set: Unzip the cover, pull it off the seat shell, and remove the harness pads and any body support pieces. Keep all pieces together. Check that no small clips or padding pieces are left inside the seat.
- Machine wash on low or gentle: Use mild detergent and a low or gentle cycle. Skip bleach, fabric softener, and hot water. Hot water and harsh additives are the most common cause of premature fabric wear.
- Air dry completely: Lay the cover flat or line dry. Do not use a dryer, and do not reinstall while damp. Damp fabric can grow mildew and may not zip smoothly.
- Reinstall and check the harness: Zip the cover back on, reattach pads and support pieces, and confirm the harness straps are flat and untwisted. A twisted strap or blocked buckle is a safety issue, not just a comfort one.
