We recommend washing your beloved bamboo bedding separately and at low temperatures, no more than 30ºC, on a low spin cycle; using a mild, eco-friendly laundry detergent - no extra fabric softener needed!
Always wash your bamboo bedding before using it for the first time! This is to ensure hygiene and to soften the fabric to remove creases from the packaging.
Wash your bamboo bedding separately to ensure that hooks or zippers from other clothing do not cause any damage to the bamboo bedding.
Do not wash your bamboo bedding with other rougher fabrics, such as towels and blankets, to avoid entanglement between fabrics.
Sort your bedding by color! Just like with regular clothing, always wash lighter and darker bedding separately. Darker dyes can ruin your lighter bedding, especially your precious white bedding!
To be environmentally friendly, choose a mild laundry detergent without harsh chemicals.
If washing powder is your first choice, it is best to dissolve them in cold water before use to avoid friction.
No fabric softener needed! Fabric softeners are best avoided as they can leave stains on your bedding. Bamboo bedding is naturally soft and will stay soft after multiple washes if you follow our tips!
You may ask yourself, "Should I hand wash my bamboo bedding?".
We understand that some people prefer to hand wash their bedding and it is indeed a way to preserve its quality over time. If you have the time, it is definitely a good way!
However, washing your bamboo bedding on a low spin cycle is a very convenient and effective way - you can immediately dry them and start making your bed.
What is the best way to dry bamboo bedding?
When the night falls, there is one thing you can definitely look forward to: your bamboo bedding is thoroughly clean, dry and ready to use in perfect condition! Find out the following ways to dry your bamboo bedding:
-
Air Drying
To maintain the naturally fine cool qualities of your bamboo bedding, air drying is always the most recommended - as long as you have enough space and the right environment at home, your bedding will dry naturally without adding extra heat - this protects the bamboo fibres and helps maintain their hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties for longer. -
Machine Drying
However, we understand that not everyone has a satisfactory air drying environment at home - and that's totally fine! The dryer must be set to the lowest possible temperature and power to dry your bamboo bedding, and your bamboo bedding must be retrieved immediately after the drying function is completed. This will ensure that they do not generate any unnecessary heat or wrinkles - but still remain fresh and warm for curling up!
Worried about wrinkles on your bamboo bedding?
Wrinkles on bamboo bedding will naturally smooth out the moment you make your bed. If you prefer a more straightforward method to restore the silky sheen of your bamboo bedding - you can set your iron to the lowest setting and iron it at that.
How to Remove Stubborn Stains from Bamboo Bedding
We’re sure you’ve experienced the frustrating reality that you’ve probably encountered at least one stubborn stain on your favorite bedding! Whether the stain is from sweat or another liquid – removing it isn’t as challenging as you think.
Never bleach bamboo bedding! Since bleach is a strong synthetic chemical, there’s a good chance that it will damage the delicate natural bamboo fibers. As an alternative, make sure to use gentle and eco-friendly products to remove stains and brighten the color of your bamboo bedding.
Brighten with white vinegar and baking soda. When faced with a stubborn stain that won’t go away with normal care techniques, you can use natural cleaning solutions like white vinegar and baking soda!
Stubborn stains that won’t go away? Apply a mild, eco-friendly laundry detergent directly to the stain and rub it in gently; then soak it in a basin of cold water for an hour. If the stain persists, mix equal parts white vinegar and baking soda, apply directly to the stain and rub gently; then, continue soaking in the basin of cold water for another hour. You may need to repeat this step up to two more times. With one final wash - your bamboo bedding will be sparkling, flawless, and as silky and clear as ever!
