Eco-melange bamboo cotton blend linens are best cared for by washing in warm water using a liquid eco-friendly detergent and drying on medium heat. Proper washing will extend their life; you can expect to get 5-6 years from your pillowcases with proper laundering. Using hot water and high heat can cause pillowcases to pill, which are the uncomfortable bumps you’ll see on some sweaters or low-quality sheets. Also, bamboo is resistant to bacteria so your pillowcases should stay fresh longer.

Bamboo is hypoallergenic, which supports healthy skin. Bamboo is naturally resistant to bacteria, moisture wicking and breathable, helping to minimize acne and skin irritations. The smooth and silky fibers keep your hair from damage and breaking and helps maintain supple and smooth

You may try any of the following: wet the oil stains, apply Dawn dishwashing liquid (a de-greaser!) soak for 15 minutes, then wash. Or spray a spot remover onto the stains before laundering, or use a paste of baking soda and water, let sit 10 minutes, then launder as usual.

Neutral odor, bamboo pillow cases are ideal for beauty sleep because they are naturally hypoallergenic, repel dust mites, and are resistant to mold and bacterial growth. Eco-melange bamboo pillowcases comfortably regulate body temperature by absorbing sweat making them perfect for hot sleepers, and people with skin sensitivities and acne.

Bamboo will shrink a little the first time that you wash it, but we’ve deliberately over-sized our pillowcases to allow for shrinkage and the perfect fit. If you want to occasionally force your pillow cases to shrink, for tighter fit, simply wash on hot and dry on high every 4-5 washings.

These eco-friendly Pillowcases can last up to 5-6 years when cared for properly. If you rotate between multiple Pillowcases, each set will last 6-7 years. In comparison, traditional cotton pillowcases usually only last a few years before you need to replace them.

No, the unique waterless coloring method makes the colors true and fade resistant. Even when you bleach them!

Yes, you can. Once they are air-dried, you can toss in the dryer for 5-10 minutes if you need to get any ‘crispness’ softened.

We don’t coat our linens with formaldehyde, which is a wrinkle-resistant toxin that the cotton industry uses. Therefore, they may get a soft wrinkle when you sleep, but with each fresh laundering, they’ll come out of the dryer silky smooth again.

Yes, absolutely, and even with high heat and steam. A little trick to reduce ironing: dry the pillowcases on high for the last 10 minutes of the cycle and remove immediately, and they will come out smooth.

Thread count is something that many sheet-shoppers look for, usually opting for higher counts, expecting more softness. But thread count is not the most important factor in how soft a sheet is; the material of the threads from which it’s made is the most important factor. This means that our 300 thread count bamboo fiber and long-staple cotton fiber Pillowcases are softer and costs less than plain cotton pillowcases with higher thread counts. Additionally, a thread count of 300 for bamboo is very high.  We’ve opted for the ‘sweet spot’ of 300 thread count as this will have incredible softness AND keep the breathability of the pillowcases.

Yes, the process of breaking down the bamboo stalk into a fiber is the same for both viscose or rayon, which is used in eco-melange fabrics. Because the end bamboo fiber is indistinguishable from other wood pulps (ie; eucalyptus, beech wood, pine, etc.) the Federal Trade Commission requires that it be called one of those terms. We have chosen to call them ‘rayon viscose from Bamboo’ to be in line with what most large retailers are using, so that consumers are not confused.
