Special Notes
• More durable than bamboo viscose
• Closed-loop processing — eco-friendly
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle with mild, plant-based detergent
- • Tumble dry on low heat or line dry — remove promptly to prevent wrinkles
- • Iron on low heat while slightly damp if needed; bamboo lyocell wrinkles less than bamboo viscose
- • Avoid bleach and harsh detergents — they cause fibrillation and strip natural antibacterial properties
- • Wash inside out to reduce friction and preserve the smooth surface
- • Store folded; bamboo lyocell is easy to maintain and resists odor between washes
