Pajama Care 101: How to Keep Kids’ Sleepwear Looking New

Hello amazing parents!

As the founder of a brand specializing in children's pajamas, I know how much love and care go into choosing the perfect sleepwear for our little ones. But the journey doesn't end there! Keeping those adorable pajamas looking fresh and new is equally important. Let's dive into some essential tips on maintaining the longevity of your kids' pajamas.

Understand the Fabric

First things first, know your pajamas' fabric. Whether it's our Pima Bee’s Pima cotton or other materials, each type has its own care needs. Pima cotton, for instance, is known for its durability and softness, but proper care is key to maintaining these qualities.

Washing Tips

• Gentle Cycle is Key: Always wash pajamas on a gentle cycle. This helps prevent wear and tear, especially for soft fabrics like Pima cotton.

• Cool Water Works Wonders: Use cool water for washing. Hot water can cause shrinking and can be harsh on prints and colors.

• Mild Detergent is a Must: Opt for a mild detergent. Harsh chemicals can break down the fibers and fade colors.

• Separate the Colors: To avoid color bleeding, wash light and dark colors separately. It’s an extra step, but your pajamas will thank you!

Drying Do’s and Don’ts

• Avoid High Heat: High heat can be a pajama’s worst enemy. Tumble dry on a low or air-fluff setting.

• Air-Drying is Awesome: Whenever possible, air-dry pajamas. This is particularly gentle on fabrics and helps preserve the fit and color.

• Say No to Direct Sunlight: If you're air-drying, avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause colors to fade.

Ironing Insights

• Low Heat for the Win: If you must iron (because let's face it, sometimes those wrinkles won't budge), use a low heat setting. High heat can damage the fabric.

• Iron Inside Out: To protect prints and patterns, iron pajamas inside out.

Storage Smarts

• Fold, Don’t Hang: Hanging pajamas can stretch them out. Fold them neatly and store them in a drawer or on a shelf.

• Keep Dry and Dark: Store pajamas in a dry, dark place to prevent mildew and fading.

Spot Cleaning Secrets

• Act Fast on Stains: The sooner you treat a stain, the better. Use a gentle stain remover and follow the instructions carefully.

• Dab, Don’t Rub: When spot cleaning, always dab at the stain rather than rubbing, to avoid spreading it or harming the fabric.

General Care

• Rotate Regularly: Rotate pajamas regularly to ensure even wear and tear.

• Check the Labels: Always read the care labels. They're there for a reason and can save your pajamas from accidental damage.
