Fabric Care Guide: Bamboo/Viscose Blend

🌿 What is Bamboo/Viscose?

Bamboo/Viscose is a sustainable and breathable fabric made from bamboo pulp, processed into viscose fibres. It combines the luxurious softness of bamboo with the smooth drape and durability of viscose, making it an excellent choice for lightweight, comfortable, and eco-friendly clothing.

Care Philosophy: Wear More, Wash Less

Bamboo/Viscose garments are naturally breathable and odour-resistant, allowing you to wear them multiple times between washes. This approach not only preserves the fabric but also reduces environmental impact.

Washing Instructions

• Hand Wash Recommended: Use cool or lukewarm water with a mild, eco-friendly detergent to preserve the fabric's softness and strength.
• Machine Washing: If machine washing, select a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water. Place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to minimise wear.

Drying Instructions

• Air Dry Only: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or shrinking.
• Avoid Tumble Drying: Heat can damage the fibres and cause shrinkage.

Ironing Instructions

• Low Heat Only: Use a low heat setting and steam to remove wrinkles. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the garment for extra protection.

Storage Tips

• Keep Cool & Dry: Store garments in a breathable cotton bag or on a hanger in a well-ventilated area. Avoid plastic bags to prevent trapping moisture.
• Fold, Don’t Hang: For heavier pieces, fold neatly to prevent stretching or distortion.

Caution

• Avoid Bleach: Harsh chemicals can damage the fabric and affect its colour.
• Be Gentle: Bamboo/Viscose is a delicate blend; avoid excessive scrubbing or twisting when cleaning.

By following these care tips and wearing more while washing less, you’ll keep your Bamboo/Viscose garments looking and feeling amazing for longer! 🌟
