FAQs on How Babywear Rental Works

Is renting babywear really cheaper than buying?

Absolutely! Babies typically only wear one size of clothes for 2-3 months before they outgrow them, so renting makes complete sense and saves you money. In fact, you can save 70% over three months. When you no longer need the clothing just return to us and save money, waste and wardrobe space taken over with clothes you can no longer use!

Take a look at the example below. Remember you can choose whatever you like! The monthly rental price of the items in your cart make up your subscription.

What is a babywear capsule?

Qookeee baby clothing rental capsules are small bundles of unisex clothes. A capsule is a collection of five core babywear items made from GOTS certified organic cotton, or from super soft bamboo and cotton, available in sizes 0-3, 3-6, 6-12 and 12-18 months. Prices start from £5 a month to rent, and you can top up your subscription with baby clothes from our standalone collection, which has individually priced baby clothes to rent.

Where do you get your baby clothes from?

Our entire stock is bought new, from carefully selected brands, and made available for you to rent at a fraction of the retail price. We maintain the quality, professionally launder and refresh the clothing after each rental. We are passionate about making good quality, planet friendly clothing available to all.

What happens if I damage or stain a babywear item?

There are no damage fees, all we ask is that you use and care for the clothes as your own, and do your best to keep it in a good condition, so we can keep it in circulation longer.

We will always want the item returned, so we can assess the damage, and it would really help us, if you could include a note when you return the item highlighting where the damage is on the clothing.

What happens if I lose a babywear item?

Don’t worry! These things happen. If you lose an item, just let us know by contacting us on admin@qookeee.com.

We do everything possible to help you trace your rental clothing from Qookeee by stamping each item with a ‘Q‘, or ‘Qookeee‘ usually on the care label.

If you do lose an item, we will charge you a replacement fee which will be half the recommended retail price (RRP) of the item. All items in our standalone collection has the retail price stated in the product information, and the most you will be charged is what you would have paid in a half price sale!

How should I clean my rented babywear?

We recommend you:

  • Wash with similar colours
  • Turn inside out and wash at 30 degrees
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Line dry in sunlight, if possible
  • Avoid washing waterproof outerwear, if possible
  • Do not iron prints

Most of all we want you to enjoy the clothes, so just use as you would if they were your own, and when you have finished with them, return them to us. You don’t need to clean your baby clothes before returning them to us. All clothes are professionally cleaned before being made available to another family.

How do you clean the returned rented baby clothes?

Each item is 100% quality checked by us before sending them to our professional laundry.

We have partnered with Oxwash, a sustainable garment cleaning company, to launder our baby clothes. Using cutting edge technology, our baby clothes are cleaned using a super gentle, wet cleaning process that emulates delicate hand-washing with mild, hypoallergenic detergents that are suitable for sensitive baby skin. Oxwash aims to be the first zero-emissions laundry facility, using a fleet of electric vehicles and washing at 20 degrees to reduce energy consumption. They can still get rid of the toughest stains, bacteria and microorganisms by spot-cleaning and an integrated ozone process, rather than using high temperatures.

When we receive the clothes back after cleaning we keep them sanitised and sealed ready to be sent out to the next customer. Our priority is that the items offered to you are in great condition, clean, hygienic and fit for purpose. Our clothes will be cleaner than ones you pick up off a rail in a shop.

What if I have a special memory of my baby attached to an item of rented babywear and I wanted it as a keepsake, am I able to buy it?

We know that sometimes you can get attached to certain items and that’s not a problem, just email us at admin@qookeee.com with your order details and item and let us know. We will always try and accommodate your request at a fair price.

What happens to the baby clothes that cannot be rented out anymore?

Our goal is to close the loop by finding ways of using the clothes so they don’t end up in landfill. We will firstly try and be creative by upcycling, and who knows we may even be able to rent them again in a different form! If it isn’t possible to upcycle the clothing, we aim to send our 100% GOTS certified organic cotton clothes to a mill that can reuse the cotton fibre to remanufacture it into fabric. Another option is donating the clothing that we cannot upcycle or recycle.

If there are any other questions, please email us at info@qookeee.com. We would love to have you as part of the Qookeee® family and hope you will join us on our mission to reduce baby clothing waste.
