Care Tips

Keep your handmade Gilly Bee pieces looking fresh and loved with simple daily care.

Caring For Your Gilly Bee Products

Everyday Care

For general use, we recommend spot cleaning wherever possible. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth is often enough to keep your Gilly Bee product looking fresh and clean while helping preserve the structure and finish of the fabric.

Every Gilly Bee piece is handmade with care using quality fabrics, soft wadding, and thoughtful craftsmanship. With the right care, your handmade accessories can stay beautiful, practical, and loved for years to come.

Machine Washing

If a deeper clean is needed, your Gilly Bee product can be machine washed.

To help protect the fabric, shape, and quilting:

  • Wash on a gentle cycle

  • Use cold or warm water up to 40°C

  • Wash with similar colours

  • Avoid harsh detergents or bleach

Because every item is handmade, gentle washing will help maintain the quality and longevity of your piece.

Drying Instructions

Do not tumble dry.

After washing

  • Gently reshape your item while damp

  • Lay flat to air dry

  • Avoid hanging while wet, as this may affect the shape

Allowing your product to dry naturally helps preserve the softness and puffiness of the wadding inside.

Ironing

If needed, a warm iron can be used to smooth the fabric after washing.

Please avoid pressing hard or using high heat, as excessive pressure may flatten the quilting and reduce the soft, padded feel that makes Gilly Bee products so special.

Handmade With Love

Each Gilly Bee product is carefully handmade in Australia, meaning slight variations and natural wear over time are part of what makes every piece unique.

Proper care will help extend the life of your Gilly Bee products to keep them looking beautiful through everyday adventures.
