Washing Bamboo Pajamas Guide

Bamboo pajamas are beloved for their softness and breathability, but improper care can shorten their lifespan. Here’s a step-by-step guide to keeping them cozy and intact—even if you’re used to tossing everything in the dryer! 

High temperature drying will destroy the bamboo fibers and is very damaging to bamboo pajamas!

Machine Wash

• Water Temperature: Use cold or lukewarm water (max 86°F/30°C). Hot water risks shrinking or warping the fabric.
• Cycle: Select a delicate or hand-wash cycle to minimize friction.
• Detergent: Opt for a gentle, bleach-free formula (e.g., Seventh Generation, Woolite). Avoid heavy enzymes or optical brighteners.
• Protect the Fabric: Place pajamas in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snags. Wash with similar soft items (undergarments, activewear)—never with abrasive fabrics like denim.

Air-Dry Naturally 

• Press (don’t twist) excess water out. Lay flat on a towel, roll to absorb moisture, then hang or spread on a drying rack.
• Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Use air-dry or no-heat mode for 10–15 minutes max—but air-drying is safer.

Attention:

• Skip fabric softeners—they clog bamboo’s moisture-wicking pores. Try ¼ cup white vinegar in the rinse cycle for natural softening.
• Treat stains ASAP with baking soda paste (mix with water) or cold water dabbing.
  

Cold wash, air-dry, low heat. Treat your bamboo pajamas kindly, and they’ll reward you with years of cloud-like comfort. For more information on ironing and storage, click here.
