For good fortune and the prevalence of the best hygiene habits, regularly changing bed linen as well as the pajama has become a whole routine of health and general well-being. Until recently, when thinking about the care of daily use garments in general, honestly bed linen and pajamas were in the background.
The most interesting thing is that it has been internalized that this practice allows these garments to last longer, providing greater useful life to each of them.
Factors Associated with Hygiene
The most important element to consider, which indeed transcends the aesthetic aspect or image in the care of bed linen for night rest, is directly related to hygiene. Bed linen must not only be in good condition but clean and fresh, likewise the pajama must be comfortable, elegant, modern, and tasteful, but it must also be well cared for not only to preserve the useful life of the garment, but also to guarantee restorative sleep.
A gentleman with routines and habits, who also enjoys dressing, is a lover of detail in his bedroom, extremely careful with all his garments in their proper preservation, as well as in the smallest details of his person. These habits include choosing appropriate personal hygiene products, extreme hygiene routines when practicing any sport, and choosing the right woven in all his sleepwear.
Washing and Ironing the Garments
The key to the proper preservation of sleepwear is the correct choice of the washing program in washing machines, where it is always most advisable to read and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the pajama label. This label indicates the type of woven, suitable detergent type, washing and ironing temperature, as well as the appropriate cycle.
What this means in a few words is that buying quality pieces does not mean at all that one can be careless; on the contrary, these garments almost always demand greater attention for their proper preservation if the goal is to have a piece in good condition for much longer.
If the pajama is cotton, it is recommended to wash the piece at a temperature below 30 ºC; if it is flannel or silk, it should be hand washed, and synthetic textiles not above 60 ºC. Likewise, it is very important to read the pajama label to verify if it requires special washing.
For example, garments with zippers can completely damage the pajama, as well as not washing with garments that may bleed color and stain the pajama.
It is an excellent idea to always wash them inside out, thus avoiding the garment losing color; therefore, using the right amount of detergent and softener will also influence, and contrary to what one might think, an excess in quantities damages the woven of the pajama, as well as not using a dryer and much better if drying in the shade so they do not lose color.
The idea of ironing and storing pajama garments is not only hygienic but orderly. Store them well ironed and perfectly folded in a space in the wardrobe specially designated for pajamas and other homewear garments.
It is best to use these garments only and exclusively for sleeping, although with new fashion trends and this kind of look that transcends the bedroom, there are even styles for working from home.
Definitely, ironing pajama garments on cold will be the best and indeed the most recommended; these devices should be set to the lowest possible heat setting, and if the iron has a particular fabric setting, that is even better. Moving the iron back and forth can stretch and deform the garment; the iron should never be left resting in any place for a long time to avoid burning the piece.
Currently, most modern washing machines include a delicate cycle setting that is supposed not to damage garments. They even go further as they have a silk setting specifically for washing garments in this very delicate woven.
Ideally, when spinning, the spin time should be minimal, as this is also usually an aggressive treatment for these garments. Some prefer to use a protective cover to avoid cutting and breaking the most delicate fibers; therefore, it is suggested to use this bag or woven cover that allows water to pass and keeps the woven in one piece.
Machine washing tends to be the most practical solution for most, as it is much faster and requires little attention, but in fact, much more care should be taken than with hand washing, as the machine can damage certain woven if washing is not handled carefully.
Follow basic advice such as separating colored garments, not washing with very aggressive bleaching products.
