How to wash and store pyjamas, dressing gowns and loungewear sets

Why care matters for loungewear

Loungewear is worn regularly, so it often goes through repeated cycles of wear, washing and drying. An overly intensive programme, high temperatures or unsuitable drying can affect the appearance and fit of a garment.

The Anabel Arto range includes different types of loungewear, from dressing gowns and nightdresses to sets and dresses. It is important to consider not only the category but also the characteristics of the specific style, as two visually similar garments may require different care.

How to read the care label

The care label is the main reference point. It indicates whether machine washing is allowed, which temperatures are suitable, and whether spinning, ironing and other care methods can be used.

Before washing an Anabel Arto garment for the first time, it is useful to check both the composition and the care symbols instead of automatically using the same programme as for another pair of pyjamas or dressing gown. This makes it easier to choose the right care for the specific item.

How to wash pyjamas

Start caring for pyjamas by sorting garments according to colour and the instructions on their care labels. If machine washing is permitted, choose the programme and temperature recommended for the specific item. Garments with delicate trims or decoration require particularly careful handling.

Do not assume that all loungewear can withstand an intensive wash simply because it is worn frequently. In the Anabel Arto catalogue, you can check the composition of a specific style before buying and then use the care label as the main guide after purchase.

How to care for a dressing gown

Dressing gown care depends primarily on the material. Not all dressing gowns should be washed in the same way, as styles may differ in composition, texture and decorative details.

Before washing, check the pockets, fastenings and belt, then follow the manufacturer’s care symbols. If you are choosing a new Anabel Arto dressing gown, it can also be useful to check the product details before buying and consider whether the care requirements fit your usual routine.

How to dry loungewear sets

After washing, avoid intensive drying unless it is specifically permitted on the care label. The drying method can be particularly important for maintaining the fit and shape of individual pieces within a set.

Dry the top and bottom according to the instructions for the specific garments. Avoid trying to speed up the process with strong heat unless the manufacturer allows it. A simple rule is: care label → composition → washing → drying.

How to store loungewear between seasons

Before storing loungewear for the season, it is best to wash it and allow it to dry completely. Fold garments neatly and keep them in a dry place where they will not be heavily compressed by other items.

If your Anabel Arto home wardrobe includes both summer and warmer styles, a seasonal review can also be a good opportunity to check the condition of each piece. Items you wear regularly can stay in the most accessible part of the wardrobe, while others can be stored until the next season.

Frequently asked questions

Should you wash new pyjamas before wearing them for the first time?

You can wash new pyjamas before the first wear, provided you follow the instructions on the care label. Avoid choosing a higher temperature or a more intensive programme without guidance. For an Anabel Arto style, check the composition and care symbols first, as the requirements may differ between products.

Can you wash pyjamas and a dressing gown together?

Not always. Compare the colour, composition and care instructions of both garments first. If the permitted programmes or temperatures differ, it is safer to wash the items separately. Take particular care with delicate trims and fabrics that require special treatment.

How often should loungewear be washed?

There is no single schedule that applies to all pyjamas, dressing gowns and loungewear sets. Frequency depends on how the garment is worn, how long it is worn for and personal habits. Each wash should still follow the care label so that frequent laundering does not become unnecessarily intensive.

Conclusion

Proper loungewear washing starts not with your usual washing-machine programme but with the care label of the individual garment. Anabel Arto offers homewear styles in different fabrics and with different finishes, so individual care is particularly important. Check the product details before buying and keep the habit of referring to the care label before washing and drying.
