Learn how to wash and dry your Sunday Citizen Silky Lyocell pajama sets, including leopard print styles. Keep them soft and cool with these simple care tips.

Quick answer

Wash your Silky Lyocell pajama set on a gentle, cold cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low or air dry to preserve its smooth, cool-to-the-touch feel.

Why care matters for lyocell

Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fiber made from wood pulp. It's known for being breathable, moisture-wicking, and incredibly soft—but it can be prone to shrinking or losing its drape if exposed to high heat or harsh agitation. That's why a gentle approach to washing and drying is essential to keep your pajama set feeling silky and looking crisp.

Care FAQ

What water temperature should I use?
Always use cold water (30°C / 85°F or below). Hot water can shrink lyocell fibers and degrade the fabric's softness.
Can I use fabric softener or bleach?
No. Fabric softeners coat the fibers and reduce breathability, while bleach weakens the lyocell. Instead, use a mild, liquid detergent free of optical brighteners. Skip the softener to keep the fabric's natural moisture-wicking properties.
How do I dry my pajama set?
Tumble dry on low heat or, for best results, air dry flat. High heat can cause shrinkage and make the fabric feel stiff. Remove from the dryer while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles. If using a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and remove promptly.
Should I turn the pajamas inside out?
Yes. Turn the set inside out before washing to protect the leopard print and reduce friction on the outer surface. This helps prevent pilling and maintains the print's clarity. Inside-out washing is a simple step that extends the life of the print.
How often should I wash them?
Wash after every 2-3 wears, or sooner if they feel soiled. Lyocell naturally resists odors, so you don't need to wash after every use. Over-washing can accelerate wear. Spot clean minor stains with a damp cloth to reduce full washes.
