How to care for your child's clothing
Reima kids' clothing is easy to care for and free of harmful chemicals. You'll save on energy, water, detergent, and time—leaving more moments for outdoor fun!
Explore these tips for washing and clothing care to simplify daily routines and make your gear last longer. Remember to check each product’s care instructions.
Easy instructions for kids' clothes care
Reima outerwear doesn't need to be washed as often – just rinse off the dirt or simply wipe clean.
If clothes get really dirty, wash them inside out at max 104 °F, don't use fabric softener.
Dry inside out at room temperature. Products with the “tumble dry” symbol can be tumble-dried or cabin-dried at a low temperature.
Mittens dry quickly if you turn them inside out, but be careful not to pull out the lining.
Outerwear and shoes will repel water and dirt even better if you use a protective spray. You can also impregnate garments in the wash.
Mending clothes is ecological, and high-quality Reima clothes are well worth it. The Reima Repair Kit offers no-sew fixes and spare parts for tough-tested waterproof gear and foot loops as well.
Store outdoor jackets, pants and overalls (except down products) on hangers—folding may damage the waterproof coating.
Outdoor clothes
Wash less, enjoy more
Why do we ask you to wash less? Each wash consumes the product, so only machine wash when necessary.
Do up the zips and other fasteners to prevent them from damaging fabrics.
If stubborn stains appear, you can use a stain remover (test it on the inside first) and wash the product without turning it inside out.
For colors and prints, use a detergent without bleach. Dose carefully.
To protect the colors, don't leave the clothes to soak.
Don't use fabric softener
Fabric softeners can reduce the breathability of waterproof fabrics and the elasticity of jerseys.
Dry the clothes at room temperature
Outdoor clothes dry more quickly inside out.
You can also use a drying cabinet or tumble dryer below 104 °F if the care instructions permit this. Too much heat can damage the garment.
Caring for wool clothes
Reima woolens are usually machine washable - check the care label, though.
No care label on the product? Wash the garment by hand at 86 °F.
Avoid soaking and rubbing.
