The basics

Wash, dry and store

Washing

  • Gentle cycle: use a cold, gentle cycle to protect the fibers and keep colors fresh.
  • Mild detergent: a gentle, eco-friendly detergent is all you need.
  • Skip bleach: it can fade prints and weaken the fibers.
  • Skip fabric softener: bamboo is already soft, and softener wears it down.

Drying

  • Air dry is best: lay flat or hang to dry for the longest life.
  • In a hurry: tumble dry on low.
  • Avoid high heat: it can shrink and weaken bamboo fibers.

Ironing

  • Low heat only: place a cloth between the iron and the fabric.
  • Go easy on steam: a light press is all it needs.

Storing

  • Cool and dry: store pajamas out of direct sunlight so prints stay bright.
  • Let it breathe: a breathable bin or cotton bag keeps them fresh between little ones.
  • Handle with love: keep away from Velcro and rough surfaces that can snag.
