Special Notes
• Delicate fiber — gentle handling recommended
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle to preserve the mechanically processed fibers
- • Tumble dry on low heat or line dry — avoid high heat which causes excessive shrinkage
- • Iron on low-medium heat while slightly damp if needed
- • Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals — they break down the natural bamboo fiber
- • Use mild, plant-based detergent to maintain the antibacterial properties
- • Store folded in a drawer; bamboo linen does not attract moths
