It is best to select the delicate setting on your machine and please remember to set the temperature to cold. Furthermore, bamboo sheets are best washed by themselves. Keep in mind that everyday detergents can often leave behind tough stains on your sheets, or various discolouring can occur. Therefore, this means that the laundry detergent you have purchased is damaging the fabric and that is definitely something we do not want! The most commonly bought detergents can contain harmful chemicals. We recommend using a delicate cycle with an eco-friendly washing powder/liquid. Do not squeeze your Blankoona in to small washing machines 7.5kg or under.
