The Flannelette Fabric Care Guide
Let’s be real—once you’ve experienced the soft, snuggly goodness of flannelette pyjamas or laid your head on plush flannelette pillowcases, there’s no going back. But to keep that cozy perfection going strong, a little TLC is in order.
Whether you're rocking a pair of Jade and May flannelette pyjamas or drifting off on a Jade and May flannelette pillowcase, this care guide is your go-to for making sure your flannelette stays as dreamy as day one.
1. Wash Before First Use
Flannelette tends to shed a little fluff when it's fresh out of production. A gentle pre-wash not only softens the fabric even more (yes, it can get softer) but also helps remove any loose fibres.
Pro tip: Wash it solo or with similar fabrics the first time to avoid fluff-sharing.
2. Cool or Warm Wash – Never Hot
Hot water is flannelette’s frenemy. It can shrink the fibres and dull that deliciously soft texture. Stick with cool or warm water and a gentle cycle to treat your flannelette pyjamas and flannelette pillowcases with the respect they deserve.
3. Use a Mild Detergent
Go easy on the chemicals. Choose a gentle, eco-friendly detergent that won't strip the softness from your fabric. Harsh chemicals? We don’t know her.
4. Avoid Fabric Softeners
It sounds backwards, we know—but fabric softeners can actually coat the fibres and make flannelette less fluffy over time. Trust your fabric—it’s already soft enough without the extras.
5. Dry With Care
Flannelette + high heat = a recipe for shrinkage. The high heat may also shorten and damage the brushed edges, reducing the soft, cosy hand touch over time
Line drying in the shade is your best bet for longevity and softness. If you’re using a dryer, keep it really low and slow. Tumble dry on a delicate setting.
6. Watch the Lint
Flannelette loves to shed a little when it’s new—especially if you do use the dryer. Make sure you clean your lint trap each time you dry them in the tumble dryer
7. Store Smart
When your Jade and May flannelette pyjamas and flannelette pillowcases aren’t in use, store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic containers—natural fibres like to breathe, and stale air is not the vibe
