Garment Care & Laundering
Dry cleaning? Leave that for the wool, silk, and cashmere.
Save your money and be kinder to the environment by simply showing your bamboo clothing a little love, and it will outlast any cotton clothing.
- Wash on a gentle setting in cold water.
- Don't use chlorine bleach or liquid fabric softener which can damage bamboo fibre.
- Line dry in the shade and never peg your clothing from the top or bottom or put on a hanger - lay it over the line so the middle of the garment is on the line.
- Wrinkles seem to fall right out of bamboo, making ironing unnecessary and making bamboo perfect for travel.
- Other tips include zipping up your hoodie to help it keep its shape, and washing more delicate 100% bamboo tops in a laundry bag.
Bamboo Towel Care & Laundering
- We recommend washing your bath towels on a cold to warm (40 degrees Celcius) heat setting on a delicate wash.
- Be sure your detergent is fully dissolved before adding your towels to the water, and avoid fabric conditioner as it reduces absorbency (and can even make them water repellent).
- Avoid contact with household cleaning products containing chlorine - bleach will remove colour permanently.
- Line dry recommended - avoid tumble drying and excessive heat.
- Baksana bamboo towels are woven, not knitted, so a pulled loop won't unravel. Simply cut any snagged loops with sharp scissors.
