Sleepwear Care
Washing and drying
- Wash in cool or warm water on gentle cycle.
- Never use fabric softener or fabric softener sheets because it will minimize the wicking properties of the fabric.
- If you accidentally use fabric softeners, re-wash the garment in clear water to remove softener residue, so the wicking properties will return to maximum effectiveness.
- Hang to dry or tumble dry on low (remove before completely dry).
- Tumble drying won't damage the garment, but can sometimes create static.
If you live in a dry climate or have problems with static in your Cool-jams products, read our blog post regarding natural ways to get rid of static cling.
Keeping it fresh
Although Cool-jams has built-in odor protection, after repeated use, wicking fabrics can sometimes develop a bit of an odor. If this should happen to your Cool-jams, we recommend soaking in Oxy Clean or baking soda and water solution for 15 minutes before washing. We also have found a few detergents that are helpful for odor elimination without damaging the fabric's wicking ability. Some of our recommendations include: Kirkland Ultra Clean with patented odor release technology, Arm and Hammer Liquid detergent with Oxyclean and Tide Pods plus Febreze.
