Bamboo-Viscose Fabric Care Guide

Machine wash cold (60°F / 15°C or below). Hot water is the #1 cause of shrinkage and softness loss in bamboo-viscose.
Use a gentle or delicate cycle with a slow spin.
Choose a mild, fragrance-free detergent - harsh detergents and enzyme-based formulas can break down the fibres over time.
Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. They damage the fibre structure and reduce the fabric's natural softness.
Turn garments inside out before washing to protect printed surfaces.
Wash with similar colours and weights to prevent pilling from abrasion.

Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat for best results.
Avoid high heat - it is the leading cause of permanent shrinkage in bamboo-viscose garments.
Remove from the dryer promptly and gently reshape while still warm to maintain fit.
Do not wring or twist - lay flat or hang to air dry if possible.

Store clean and fully dry - even slight moisture can encourage mildew or odor in natural fibre blends.
Fold rather than hang to prevent stretching at the shoulders.
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated space away from direct sunlight, which can fade prints over time.

Bamboo-viscose has natural stretch, but repeated high-heat drying will cause it to tighten and lose its drape.
If a garment feels snug after washing, lay it flat while damp and gently stretch it back to shape.
For the best long-term fit, size up if your child is between sizes - our pajamas are designed for a comfortable, relaxed fit.

Softness: Bamboo-viscose is exceptionally soft when new. Following cold-wash and low-heat care will preserve that feel longest.
Pilling: Minor pilling can occur from friction (especially in high-wear areas like knees and underarms). Washing inside-out and using a gentle cycle minimizes this.
Shrinkage: Some minimal shrinkage is normal on the first wash. Washing cold and drying on low heat keeps this to a minimum.
Color: Prints may gradually soften with repeated washing - this is normal for all printed knit fabrics.
