- Hand wash for additional protection.
- Avoid bleach or fabric softeners as they can weaken the bamboo fibres and reduce comfort.
- For tough stains, spot-clean with a mild detergent and water mixture. Always blot gently to avoid fibre damage.
Drying:

- Keep garments away from direct sunlight during drying to prevent colour fading.
- Store sleepwear flat in a cool, dry space to retain its shape. Avoid long-term hanging, as this can stretch the fabric.
Ironing:
- Set the iron to low heat or preferably use a steamer without direct contact of an iron with the fabric.
- Gently smooth out wrinkles without prolonged contact.
