• Easy Instructions: Wash on warm with eco-friendly liquid detergent, dry on medium. Iron if desired.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: We’ve oversized the 100% Bamboo Bedding to allow for the first-time shrinkage that occurs, wash them FIRST to allow for the best fit.
  • For More Details:
  • Zip the Duvet, Euro Sham or Lumbar Pillow Cover CLOSED prior to laundering. This maintains the integrity of the zipper. You don’t need to do this with the Duvets with buttons. An extra button is sewn into the duvet in case one is lost.
  • Wash the linens in warm water with a gentle eco-friendly liquid detergent, and dry with medium heat. We recommend removing immediately to reduce wrinkling. WEIRD fact: 100% Bamboo Bedding comes out of the washer feeling stiff and canvas-like! This is normal so please don’t worry that you’ve harmed your linens.
  • The detergents we recommend are Ecos, Seventh Generation, Meyer’s Clean Act and Aspen Clean. But any gentle eco-friendly liquid detergent that you currently own should be fine. We don’t recommend any detergent that says ‘Tough on Stains’ or removes grass or grease stains. Those can be too harsh on 100% Bamboo Bedding and reduce their lifespan.
  • For best results, wash the sheets separately from other items, especially towels. Towels produce a lot of lint which can stick to sheets and create friction, which could cause pilling.  We’ve made our linens with a tight twill weave, which makes for a beautiful sheen but also guarantees against pilling.
  • We recommend giving your pillowcases a hard shake to smooth out the hem before placing in the dryer. And removing the sheets from the dryer when done will help reduce wrinkling.  We don’t coat our linens with formaldehyde, which is what the cotton industry does to make the linens wrinkle-resistant. We’ve chosen not to use a toxic chemical as we feel that sleepers would prefer a little wrinkle vs sleeping on toxic chemicals.  Each time you launder, they’ll come out smooth again, as well as shrink to fit again. Bamboo wants to ‘grow’ while its on your bed!
  • Avoid liquid chlorine bleach, fabric softener, dryer sheets, and washer or dryer balls. Harsh detergents can do damage to fine linens and particularly high-quality sheets. Bleach can weaken the 100% Bamboo Bedding fibers, reducing the life of your sheets, and fabric softener and dryer sheets can leave a film on the fabric, reducing the moisture-wicking properties. Dryer sheets can cause discoloration, and washer and dryer balls can cause pilling.
  • For stubborn stains, spray chlorine-free stain remover or a mixture of 1 tablespoon of vinegar with 4 tablespoons of water directly on it, then launder as usual.
  • Stains from natural body oils or body lotions can be removed by pre-soaking your sheets in the washing machine with ¼ cup Dawn dish washing liquid. Or you can gently rub a few drops of Dawn and water into the stain, then launder as usual. Dawn is a natural de-greaser and works wonders on stains! read more
  • Ironing does not harm bamboo bed sheets, duvets or coverlets. You may even use high heat and steam, they will iron beautifully!

Additional Tips

  • If you mix colors when washing, add a Shout Color Catcher to your laundry load to keep your colors true.
  • Don’t worry that using cool water won’t get your linens clean, as rayon from bamboo naturally resists bacteria, so bacteria does not thrive on bamboo.  Occasionally if you want to launder in hot water to remove any potential build-up, or to force the linens to shrink a bit, this will not harm them.
  • It’s normal that the linens feel a bit stiff out of the washer, almost like a light-weight canvas, but once dried; they’re back to a puffy cloud of softness!  Extra lint in the dryer the first couple of washes is normal, as some short fibers may release which makes them even softer.
  • When hang drying, you may toss the linens in the dryer for 5 minutes to soften any stiffness.
  • If you couldn’t take the linens out of the drier immediately, fluff them for ten more minutes in the dryer on high heat and remove promptly, this will remove wrinkles.
  • Weirdest Tip!  To remove dried blood from the linens, get the person who bled to put their own saliva on the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, then always rinse in cold water before laundering.  The specific acid in your own saliva will break down the blood, interesting, right!?
