How to Wash Bamboo Clothing
Bamboo fabric is soft, stretchy, and durable, but it needs some TLC too! If you want your little one’s bamboo clothing to last for years, then make sure to follow these care tips.
Washing Instructions
Here are some bamboo fabric care instructions every parent or guardian should know.
- Gentle Cycle: Use a cold, gentle cycle to protect the natural fibers and keep colors looking fresh.
- Mild Detergent: Opt for a gentle, eco-friendly detergent — no harsh chemicals needed!
- Avoid Bleach: Skip the bleach so that your bamboo pajama sets remain as vibrant as the day you bought them.
- No Fabric Softener: To maintain the natural softness and durability of the bamboo fabric, avoid using fabric softeners.
Drying Tips
Knowing how to wash bamboo clothing is only half the battle – understanding the best way to dry it is just as important!
- Air Dry is Best: For the longest life (and to keep your bamboo baby clothes buttery soft), lay them flat or hang them up to dry.
- Avoid High Heat: If you’re in a hurry, tumble dry on low. Bamboo fibers can be sensitive to high temperatures.
Ironing and Steaming
Before reaching for the iron and ironing board, be sure to read these bamboo fabric care instructions first.
- Low Heat Only: If you need to remove wrinkles, use a low heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the fabric.
- Skip the Steam: Our bamboo jammies don’t love high steam settings, so opt for a gentle press instead.
