A bamboo bedding set is easy to clean

A bamboo bedding set is easy to clean. Sometimes, it can feel like there is no simple way to maintain your fabrics, especially those categorized as delicate fabrics. However, here are a few tips that make easy cleaning for your bamboo sheets.

Help Your Bamboo Bedding Set Be Easy to Clean During the Washing Cycle

You should always consult the manufacturer guidelines for your bamboo bed sheets to make sure you are following the right maintenance procedures. Many of these products can be washed in your machine.

Make sure to use warm water at 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) on every wash. Not only does this make the sheets easy to clean, but it prevents the fibers from becoming damaged by excessive heat.

Use mild laundry detergent, such as Ecos, Mrs. Meyers, or Seventh Generation.

Do not use laundry balls. Although they may seem convenient, they can snag your bamboo rayon sheets and damage them.

You should also avoid fabric softener. When your bamboo bedding set comes out of the washer, you will notice that it feels stiff. This is perfectly normal when bamboo bedding is wet. Once it dries, it will return to being exceptionally soft. Therefore, fabric softener is an unnecessary waste of effort and money for your bamboo sheet set.

If you wish to remove stains from bamboo sheets, use a tiny bit of Dawn dishwasher liquid before the wash cycle. Rub it into the stain and let it sit for ten minutes. These care instructions can be used for sheets of all sizes of bamboo sheets California King-size included.

Easy Cleaning of Bamboo Sheets During the Drying Cycle

These best practice tips for drying bamboo sheets will keep your bamboo bedding set soft, clean, and wrinkle-free.

Avoid dryer sheets. They may smell good, but they can leave a residue on your bamboo fabric.

You can reduce the presence of wrinkles by giving your bamboo bed sheets a good shake before they go into the dryer. In addition, you should take them out of the dryer as soon as the cycle ends. Otherwise, you will be dealing with serious wrinkles from staying crumpled in the machine.

The more space you give your bamboo viscose sheets to tumble dry, the fewer wrinkles you will have. Therefore, put them in their own load. If you must combine them with other types of laundry, make sure that the load is light.

Cleaning Made Easy and How to Store Bamboo Bed Sheets

Get yourself an airy, breathable storage bag. Skip the plastic containers! When fabric is sealed in plastic, moisture gets trapped inside. This can lead to mold and mildew. With a breathable bag, your bamboo sheet sets will stay fresh.

Also, try not to pack the sheets too tightly. With extra storage space and gentle folds, you can avoid pressed-in creases and bad wrinkles.

If you do end up with wrinkles once the sheets are on the bed, use a linen spray to smooth out the wrinkles. Mix these ingredients for a D.I.Y. linen solution:

  • Water
  • 3 tablespoons of witch hazel
  • 10 drops of chamomile or lavender essential oil

Your Bamboo Bedding Set can Certainly be Easy to Clean

If you already own bamboo bed sheets or are thinking about getting some, these quick and convenient cleaning tips will make for easy cleaning of your bamboo sheet set. The time you save will allow you to focus on things you really want to do.
