Bamboo is wonderfully soft, but that means it must be handled with care!  Thankfully, we put our clothing through many tests and trials and here's our recommended care instructions:

How to take care of those delicate bamboo fabrics?

• Garments, swaddles & blankets:
  • Machine wash inside out with like colors on gentle cold wash - make sure all the zips, buttons & snaps are closed and place with like colored items
  • Tumble dry low-you want to get moisture out of the garment
  •  lay flat to dry for optimal results- we suggest tumble dry for 15-20 minutes then lay flat to dry completely
  • You can use a color catcher to further prevent color bleeding BUT NEVER USE BLEACH
• Accessories: 
  • Hand wash (do not scrub with a brush!)
  • Lay flat or hang to dry 
• Things to avoid:
  • Do not let the fabric soak or stay wet for long. Once done gently washing immediately transfer to a dryer on tumble dry low for a few minutes to soak excess moisture before hanging to dry - this will prevent bleeds!
  • Bleach! Never use bleach on this delicate fabric
  • Washing with rough fabrics (such as towels) or other garments with zippers, hooks/buttons, or Velcro – anything that can snag the soft bambooPulling on the fabric to open snaps - always use your fingers on the snaps directly to open as pulling on the fabric will lead to tears

That's it! If you follow those instructions, you'll be all set!
