Quick answer

To keep your SOFTNESS pyjama set feeling ultra-soft and comfortable, wash it gently in cold water with a mild detergent, air dry flat, and avoid fabric softeners. This routine preserves the Tencel fibers and the delicate openwork details.

Why Tencel needs special care

The SOFTNESS pyjama is made from Tencel, a fiber known for its silky feel and breathability. But that softness can be ruined by harsh washing or high heat. Tencel is also prone to pilling if rubbed against rough surfaces, so gentle handling is key.

The risk of fabric softener

It might seem counterintuitive, but fabric softener actually coats Tencel fibers, reducing their natural moisture-wicking ability and making them feel less soft over time. Stick to a mild liquid detergent instead.

Step-by-step care routine

  1. 1. Turn inside out and hand wash or use a mesh bag: Turn the pyjama top and bottoms inside out to protect the openwork details. Hand wash in cool water (below 30°C) with a mild liquid detergent. If using a machine, place the set in a lingerie bag and select the delicate cycle. Turning inside out prevents snags on the openwork trim.
  2. 2. Skip fabric softener and bleach: Add only a small amount of mild detergent. Fabric softener and bleach will damage Tencel fibers and reduce softness. For stains, gently dab with a diluted detergent solution before washing. Fabric softener is the top enemy of Tencel softness.
  3. 3. Rinse thoroughly and press out water: After washing, rinse until no suds remain. Do not wring or twist the fabric—this can stretch the fibers. Instead, press the water out gently with your hands or roll the garment in a clean towel. Wringing can distort the shape and damage the openwork.
  4. 4. Air dry flat away from heat: Lay the pyjama set flat on a drying rack or a clean towel. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. Do not tumble dry—high heat shrinks and stiffens Tencel. Tumble drying is the fastest way to lose softness.
  5. 5. Store folded, not hung: Once fully dry, fold the pyjama set neatly and store it in a drawer. Hanging can stretch the shoulder seams and distort the openwork details over time. Folding keeps the shape intact for longer.
