Adult Sleep Onesie Care: Washing and Storage Tips

Quick Answer

Wash your adult sleep onesie on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then air-dry or tumble dry on low. Store it flat in a cool, dry place to preserve the TOG-rated fabric and detachable hood.

How to Wash and Store Your Adult Sleep Onesie

1. Check the Care Label: Look at the sewn-in tag for specific instructions. Most TOG-rated onesies recommend a gentle machine wash in cold water with like colors. Skipping this step can void the warranty or damage the fabric.
2. Prepare the Onesie for Washing: Close all zippers and fasten the detachable hood to prevent snagging. Turn the onesie inside out to protect the outer surface. Leaving the hood unsecured can cause it to stretch or tear in the wash.
3. Choose the Right Detergent and Cycle: Use a mild, bleach-free detergent. Set your machine to a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid fabric softeners—they coat the fibers and reduce breathability. Fabric softener can also affect the TOG rating over time.
4. Dry the Onesie Properly: Air-dry flat on a drying rack away from direct heat or sunlight. If you use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove the onesie while slightly damp to prevent shrinkage. High heat can damage the elastic and shrink the fabric, ruining the fit.
5. Store It Correctly: Fold the onesie neatly and store it in a cool, dry closet. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as the weight can stretch the shoulders and hood. Storing in a damp area can lead to mildew or odors.
