Keep the AW25 A0EIB two-piece star-print set soft and navy-bright with a simple wash routine. Follow these steps to protect the cotton and the print.
Quick answer
Wash the AW25 A0EIB set inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air-dry it flat or line-dry away from direct heat. This protects the soft fabric and keeps the star print and navy color looking new.
Why the star print and navy color need a gentler routine
The A0EIB set pairs a long-sleeve top and pants in a soft fabric with a star print on classic navy. Prints and deep dyes are the first things to show wear if you wash hot or tumble dry. Turning the set inside out and choosing cold water reduces friction on the printed surface and slows color fading.
You do not need special detergents. A mild liquid detergent without bleach is enough. Avoid fabric softener on the cotton—it can coat fibers and reduce the natural softness you want to keep.
When to skip the dryer entirely
If your child has sensitive skin or you want maximum longevity, skip the dryer completely. Air-drying preserves the fabric's hand-feel and prevents the print from cracking. In humid weather, a fan or a well-ventilated room speeds drying without heat.
If you must use a dryer on a rushed day, choose the lowest heat setting and remove the set while slightly damp. High heat is the main cause of shrinking and print damage.
Step-by-step care for the AW25 A0EIB set
- Turn the set inside out before washing: Close any fasteners and turn both the top and pants inside out. This shields the star print from rubbing against other clothes. Check that the print is fully on the inside before starting the machine.
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Use a mild liquid detergent and select a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Cold water is the single biggest factor in preserving the navy color.
- Air-dry flat or line-dry away from heat: Reshape the set while damp and dry it flat on a rack or line-dry in the shade. Keep it away from radiators and direct sun. If using a dryer, choose the lowest heat and remove while slightly damp.
- Store folded, not hung: Once fully dry, fold the set and store it in a drawer. Hanging can stretch the soft fabric over time. Keep the set away from rough zippers or hooks that could snag the print.
