‌How to Clean Pajamas?Understanding Cleaning Methods‌

‌Use a Laundry Bag Before Washing:‌Pajama fabrics are often delicate.To prevent damage during machine washing,place them inside a laundry bag first.

‌Use Delicate Wash Mode:‌Select the delicate wash cycle on your machine to protect the fabric.If concerned about cleanliness,pre-treat local stains with a neutral detergent before bagging and washing.Note:Cotton pajamas tolerate alkali but not acid,so regular laundry detergent is suitable.

‌Sort by Color:‌Separate pajamas by color before washing.Group dark and light colors separately to prevent dye transfer.Sets(top&bottom)can usually be washed together if material and color are similar.

‌Avoid Direct Sunlight When Drying:‌Cotton,modal,cooling fabrics,etc.,should be air-dried away from direct sunlight.Prolonged UV exposure damages dyes and fibers,causing fading,material degradation,and loss of elasticity/color.Avoid hanging heavy,wet pajamas(like thick onesies)on standard hangers to prevent stretching;lay flat if possible.

‌When to Replace Pajamas?Understanding Lifespan‌

The typical pajama lifespan is 1-2 years.Over time,bacteria build up and the material structure degrades,necessitating replacement.With careful maintenance,lifespan can extend to 2-3 years.

‌How to Extend Pajama Lifespan?3 Key Maintenance Tips‌

‌Wash After Wearing:‌Clean pajamas promptly after use.Leaving them unwashed allows grime,odors,and bacteria to develop and can lead to mildew.

‌Store in Non-Woven Fabric Bags:‌Use breathable,eco-friendly non-woven fabric bags for storage to prevent mildew.Avoid plastic bags,as chemicals can react with air and cause mildew.

‌Store According to Material:‌Knit pajamas are heavy and stretch easily;hang them folded over the middle of the hanger.For slip dresses/nightgowns,hang upside down to maintain shape.
