Quick answer
Wash your sleep pants and long sleeve sets in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry away from direct heat. Avoid fabric softener and bleach to preserve the HeiQ Smart Temp thermoregulating treatment.
Why care matters for thermoregulating sleepwear
Love Luna's ACCLIMATIZE sleepwear range uses HeiQ Smart Temp, an intelligent fabric treatment that helps you stay comfortable when nights get hot or cold. Harsh washing or high heat can degrade this finish over time, reducing its effectiveness. Gentle care keeps the fabric soft and the technology working.
Step-by-step care routine
- Check the care label first: Look inside your sleep pants or long sleeve for the manufacturer's care symbols. This gives you the exact temperature and cycle recommendations for that specific piece.
- Turn garments inside out: Turning the sleepwear inside out protects the outer fabric and the HeiQ treatment from friction during washing. Zip or button any closures to avoid snagging. Common mistake: washing right-side out can cause pilling faster.
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Use cold water (below 30°C / 86°F) and select the delicate or gentle cycle on your machine. Hot water can damage the thermoregulating finish. Use a mild, liquid detergent — avoid powder detergents that may not dissolve fully in cold water.
- Skip fabric softener and bleach: Fabric softener coats the fibres and can block the Smart Temp treatment. Bleach weakens the fabric and alters the colour. Instead, add a half cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to naturally soften and remove odours. Common mistake: using fabric softener thinking it helps — it actually reduces performance.
- Air dry flat or on a low tumble setting: Lay the sleepwear flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat sources. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove while still slightly damp. High heat can shrink the fabric and degrade the treatment. Common mistake: wringing out the garment — this stretches the fibres and causes misshaping.
