Bamboo fabric is delicate and should be treated as such. To preserve the quality of the fabric, avoid heat exposure at all costs as it destroys the fibers and causes shrinkage. Instead, wash bamboo fabrics on a gentle cycle using lukewarm or warm water. Lastly, ensure you use a mild detergent to cleanse the fabric without damaging it.
