How to Care for Your Crochet Toys and Gifts

Crafted presents and handmade crochet toys from croise are more than just material objects; they are delicate bundles of patience, love, and creativity. Even if they don't require much maintenance, these handcrafted treasures from croise, whether a delicate flower, a funny keychain, or an adorable amigurumi animal, deserve a little extra attention to keep them looking as beautiful as the day they were received.

To ensure that your crochet toys and gifts are treasured for many seasons to come, we'll walk you through the best ways to care for them in this blog:


  • Use Wet Tissues for Light Dirt


    If your handmade crochet item picks up some dust or light stains:

    • Gently dab the area with a soft, alcohol-free wet wipe or baby tissue.

    • Avoid rubbing too hard, as this may distort the stitches or loosen the yarn.

    • Let the toy air dry in a well-ventilated area.


    This is a safe and quick way to freshen it up without completely soaking it. It's convenient for toys with delicate embellishments or intricate patterns.


  • Hand Wash crochet If Heavily Soiled


    If your crochet item gets too dirty and needs deeper cleaning:

    • Fill a basin or bucket with lukewarm water to protect the fibers from shrinking or stretching.

    • Add a small amount of mild detergent or Ezee (or baby fabric wash) to avoid damage to the yarn.

    • Gently submerge the item and let it soak for 5–10 minutes, allowing dirt to loosen naturally.

    • Press and release the item softly (do not rub or twist) to maintain its shape.

    • Rinse thoroughly with clean water until all detergent is gone.

    • Lay it flat on a towel and reshape it while damp to avoid misshaping.

    • Air dry naturally—avoid direct sunlight and never use a dryer, which can cause shrinkage or fading.


  • Use Gentle Detergents Only

    Crochet items are sensitive. Harsh detergents can:

    • Fade the vibrant colors.

    • Damage the texture of the yarn.

    • Break down the fibers over time.


    Always use:

    • Ezee

    • Baby shampoo

    • Any mild liquid detergent suitable for delicate fabrics

    These cleaners help maintain the softness and appearance of the crochet piece.

    Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and strong stain removers, which can be too harsh for delicate yarns.


  • Don’t Pull Loose Threads


    Spotted a raw edge or a loose yarn?

    • Do not pull! Tugging can unravel the stitches and cause lasting damage to the design.

    • Use a small needle to gently tuck the thread back into the body of the item.


With attention to detail and originality, every Croisé product is handmade. If you take some easy maintenance precautions, your crocheted friends will remain with you for a very long time and continue to look as cute as they did when they were first made.
