Proper washing and care help satin pyjama sets retain their smooth texture, sheen, and shape. Gentle handling, mild detergents, and low heat exposure reduce fabric damage and extend the garment’s lifespan.
Should satin be hand-washed or machine-washed?
Hand-washing is often recommended for satin, though many sets tolerate machine washing on a delicate cycle. Using cold water and placing items in a laundry bag helps prevent snagging.
What detergents are safe for satin fabric?
Mild, non-bleaching detergents designed for delicate fabrics work best for satin. Harsh chemicals can weaken fibres, dull shine, and make the fabric feel rough over time.
Can satin be tumble-dried or ironed?
Air drying is preferred, as tumble dryers can cause shrinkage or heat damage. If ironing is needed, using the lowest heat setting with a protective cloth helps preserve fabric quality.
