If you're like most people, you probably don't pay much attention to the labels on your clothes when you toss them into the dryer. After all, who has time to sort them by fabric type and drying instructions? But did you know that some fabrics can shrink, fade, or even catch fire if you dry them incorrectly? In this blog post, we'll show you how to identify which fabrics are safe to dry and which ones are better off air-dried. We'll also share some tips on how to wash and dry our pure cotton pajamas that you can buy from our online store.

Fabrics that are safe to dry

Some fabrics are designed to withstand high heat and tumbling in the dryer. These include:

- Polyester: This synthetic fabric is durable, wrinkle-resistant, and quick-drying. You can dry it on any heat setting without worrying about shrinking or fading.
- Nylon: Another synthetic fabric that is strong and resilient. Nylon can handle high heat and dry fast, but it may lose some of its elasticity over time.
- Acrylic: This fabric is similar to wool, but it's lighter and softer. Acrylic can be dried on low or medium heat, but avoid high heat as it may cause pilling or melting.
- Cotton: This natural fabric is breathable, absorbent, and comfortable. Cotton can be dried on any heat setting, but it may shrink up to 10% if it's not pre-shrunk. To prevent shrinking, you can dry cotton on low heat or hang it to dry.

Fabrics that are better off air-dried

Some fabrics are more delicate and prone to damage if you dry them in the dryer. These include:

- Wool: This natural fabric is warm, cozy, and insulating. Wool can shrink or felt if exposed to high heat or agitation. To dry wool, lay it flat on a towel and reshape it gently.
- Silk: This natural fabric is smooth, luxurious, and elegant. Silk can lose its color, luster, or shape if dried in the dryer. To dry silk, hang it in a shady place or lay it flat on a towel.
- Rayon: This semi-synthetic fabric is soft, drapy, and versatile. Rayon can shrink, wrinkle, or lose its shape if dried in the dryer. To dry rayon, hang it or lay it flat on a mesh rack.
- Linen: This natural fabric is crisp, cool, and breathable. Linen can shrink or become brittle if dried in the dryer. To dry linen, hang it or lay it flat on a towel.
