How to Care for Organic Pointelle Pyjamas

Quick answer

To keep your organic pointelle pyjamas soft and lasting, wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle, skip the dryer, and air dry flat away from direct heat.

5 steps to care for organic pointelle pyjamas

1. Step 1: Turn inside out before washing: Turn the pyjamas inside out to protect the print and reduce friction on the outer fabric. This helps prevent pilling and keeps the pattern looking fresh. Always zip or button up the pyjamas before turning inside out to avoid snagging.
2. Step 2: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent and select the delicate or hand-wash cycle on your machine. Cold water preserves the organic cotton fibers and prevents shrinkage. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners—they can break down the natural fibers and reduce softness.
3. Step 3: Never wring or twist the fabric: After washing, gently press out excess water with your hands. Wringing or twisting can distort the pointelle weave and cause permanent stretching. Lay the pyjamas flat on a clean towel and roll it up to absorb more moisture without stress.
4. Step 4: Air dry flat away from heat and sun: Place the pyjamas on a drying rack or a flat surface in a shaded area. Direct sunlight can fade the print, and high heat from a dryer can shrink or damage the pointelle knit. If you must use a dryer, choose the no-heat or air-fluff setting and remove while still slightly damp to avoid over-drying.
5. Step 5: Store folded, not hung: Fold the pyjamas and store them in a drawer or shelf. Hanging can stretch the shoulders and neckline over time, especially on lightweight pointelle fabric. Keep them away from Velcro or rough fabrics that could snag the delicate weave during storage.
