They are perfect to add fun statement to your lazy Sundays or adventurous nights out. To keep using your Kigurumi, season after season; it is crucial to follow the care & washing instructions. Kigurumi after several wears turn dingy that reduces the joyous statement of the fabric. Wash your fleece onesies the following way to keep them look new forever.

1. Wash your Kigurumi inside out. When washing it first time, throw it in the washing machine in the cold cycle. After the first cold wash you may like to wash it with hot water in case your kigurumi has got stubborn stains.
2. Immediate & spot-on treatment is necessary in case you get your fleece PJs stained. Try treating stain with either dish-wash bar or by talcum powder. The sooner you treat the stain, the easier it is for you to remove it. Don’t wash a stained Kigurumi in hot water as it will fix the stain. Wash it in cold water afterwards.
3. Never bleach your onesies. Using non-chlorine bleach is however safe. Chlorine bleach will damage the texture by destroying the fleece fibers. Wash Kigurumi PJs using any mild detergent available.
