Quick answer
To keep your Stripe & Stare short pyjama set soft, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, tumble dry on low, and avoid fabric softener.
Why fabric softener is the enemy of softness
Fabric softener coats fibers, reducing breathability and making the fabric feel less soft over time. For Stripe & Stare's ultra-breathable fabric, skip the softener to maintain its natural feel.
The trade-off: gentle care vs. convenience
Washing on a gentle cycle and air-drying takes a bit more time, but it preserves the fabric's softness and shape. If you're in a hurry, low-heat tumble drying is acceptable, but avoid high heat.
Steps to keep your short pyjama set soft
- Step 1: Turn inside out before washing: Turn your pyjama set inside out to protect the fabric surface and any prints or piping. Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection. Check for any stains and pre-treat them with a small amount of mild detergent.
- Step 2: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Set your machine to cold water and a gentle or delicate cycle. Use a mild liquid detergent and skip the fabric softener completely. Overloading the machine can cause friction and pilling; wash only a few items at a time.
- Step 3: Dry on low heat or air dry: Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting, or better, lay flat to air dry. Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles. Avoid high heat as it can shrink or damage the fabric. If air drying, reshape the set while damp to maintain its relaxed fit.
