Care Instructions

Congratulations on choosing premium, Bamboo Viscose bedding products from Bamtek. Our product is not cheap, it is one of the best on the market, but being a natural fiber product, it needs a special kind of care for longevity. Follow these instructions and you should have many beautiful, relaxing refreshing sleeps ahead. ❞

Prewash

We are often asked if it is necessary to prewash out bedding products.  The short answer is no. As solvents used in making genuine Tencel &Bamboo Viscose products are non toxic, there is no need to prewash, although, if is your preference to do so, that is totally fine. We are also asked if our product smells of eucalyptus and the answer is no, there is no eucalyptus type smell at all.

Washing Process

It is recommended to wash Tencel & Bamboo Viscose products in cold water with a biodegradable washing detergent. Use the gentle cycle on your washer and wash separately. Tencel & Bamboo do not like metal buttons, zippers and studs that might catch, causing runs in the fabric.

There is no need to use fabric softener or softener sheets, as Tencel & Bamboo are naturally super soft already.

Drying

We recommend line drying if possible or tumble on gentle or delicate cycle. Again, as with washing, no metal bits, best to dry our products separately from other garments.

Do not over-dry, best to be a little under.

Wrinkles

Being a natural product, Bamboo Viscose will wrinkle. If you are not in the habit of ironing your bedding, for best results, fold immediately when taking off the line or set the dryer to 'Iron' setting. This leaves a small amount of moisture in the bedding, make the bed straight away and the wrinkles will be minimal. Do not throw bedding into the washing basket, this will guarantee a lot of wrinkles.

At our home, we tend to only iron the pillow cases for that fresh hotel look.
