How to washTreat your bedding like a favorite shirt. Cold water, a soft cycle, and no harsh extras. That's most of it.

Skip the extras
No bleach, no fabric softener, no dryer balls. CleanBamboo® doesn't need them.
Care by Product
Bedding
Cold machine wash with like fabrics on a gentle or delicate setting. Line dry or tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
- Fewer wrinklesShake out bedding between washing and drying, and take it out as soon as the cycle ends. Iron at a low temperature if you like a crisp finish.
- Less pillingSome pilling is normal for natural fibers. Skip fabric softener and dryer balls, and keep bedding away from rough fabrics in the wash.
Mattress and Pillow Protectors
Cold machine wash with like fabrics on a gentle or delicate setting. Line dry or tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
- Before first useWe recommend washing your protectors once before you put them on the bed.
Bath and Waffle
Cold machine wash with like fabrics on a gentle or delicate setting. Line dry for best results, or tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
- If the weave draws inWaffle weave can tighten after washing. Wash as directed and air dry to relax it, then iron on low if you like.
Down Alternative Comforter
Cold machine wash with like fabrics on a gentle or delicate setting. Line dry or tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener to keep the filling soft and lofty.
- Make roomGive it space in the drum so the filling can move freely, and dry it completely before use.
Brighten Whites, Naturally
Harsh chemicals and bleach can damage CleanBamboo®. For light or white fabrics, try a simple two-step wash instead.
In the wash
Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the wash cycle.
In the rinse
Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar during the rinse cycle.
Add them at separate stages, never together. Use on light or white fabrics only, as this can fade darker colors.
Laundry Questions
Which detergent should I use?
Any mild, eco-friendly detergent works well. Natural options like baking soda, white vinegar or soap nuts are good alternatives too.
How do I treat a stain?
Skip the bleach. For light stains, pre-soak in a mild, eco-friendly detergent. If you want to try a stain remover, test it first on the reusable drawstring bag your bedding arrived in.
Can I use fabric softener?
No. Fabric softener and dryer balls can add to pilling. CleanBamboo® lyocell doesn't need them.
Can I iron my bedding?
Yes, at a low temperature. Most wrinkles shake out if you remove bedding from the dryer right away or line dry it.
How often should I wash my sheets?
Most people wash their sheets every week or two. A cool, gentle cycle each time keeps them at their best.
