Product Care

How should I care for bamboo linens?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Hang or line-dry you bamboo towels and bathrobes for best absorbency and softness. Tumble dry your bamboo bed sheets separately at regular cycle. More details here

How do I care for hemp or flax linens?

Machine wash cold or warm with mild detergent. Tumble dry low or line-dry. These fibers become softer over time.

How do I care for kapok and organic wool products?

Spot clean when possible. Air out pillows and comforters in sunlight regularly. For wool bedding, follow included care instructions for gentle washing or dry cleaning if needed.

Can I use bleach or fabric softeners?

No. These products can damage natural fibers and reduce their performance. Use mild, eco-friendly detergent only.
