Bamboo viscose is a fantastic fabric choice for baby apparel, known for its softness, breathability, and eco-friendly properties. To keep your baby’s bamboo clothing as soft and durable as the day you bought it, proper care is key. Here’s how to take care of bamboo viscose clothing to ensure it lasts while staying gentle on your baby’s skin.

Wash in Cold Water

Always wash bamboo viscose baby clothes in cold water. Hot water can break down the fabric’s fibers over time, causing it to lose its softness. Cold water washing helps preserve the material's structure and reduces shrinkage.

Use a Gentle Detergent

Choose a mild, eco-friendly detergent without harsh chemicals or bleach. Harsh detergents can weaken the bamboo fibers and irritate your baby’s sensitive skin. Opting for a gentle, liquid detergent will keep the fabric soft and safe. 

Avoid Fabric Softeners and Bleach

Fabric softeners and bleach can damage the natural fibers of bamboo viscose. Bamboo is naturally soft and doesn’t need added softeners. Bleach, on the other hand, can break down the fabric and cause discoloration. No Oxy or Bleach of any kind. 

Air Dry for Best Results

For longevity, air drying is ideal for bamboo viscose baby apparel. Lay the clothing flat or hang it to dry, avoiding direct sunlight which can cause fading. If you’re in a hurry, tumble drying on a low heat setting is acceptable but not recommended for frequent drying.

Low-Heat Ironing (If Needed)

Bamboo viscose is naturally wrinkle-resistant, but if you need to iron, use a low heat setting. High heat can damage the delicate fibers, so always iron inside out and avoid direct contact with the fabric for too long.

Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Store bamboo baby clothes in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup, which can weaken the fabric or lead to mold. Keep the clothes folded neatly to avoid unnecessary stretching or misshaping.

By following these simple care steps, you’ll keep your baby’s bamboo viscose clothing soft, durable, and ready for everyday adventures!
