Melange Sham & Decorative Pillows FAQs

How do I wash bamboo shams?

Viscose from Bamboo is best cared for by washing in warm water with an eco-friendly liquid detergent, and drying on medium heat. Proper washing will extend the life; you can expect to get 5-6 years from your linens with proper laundering.  Using hot water and high heat can cause any linens to pill, which are the uncomfortable bumps you’ll see on some sweaters. Also, bamboo has natural bacteria-resistance so if you’re used to using bleach to kill any bacteria, there is no need to do so with bamboo. A great benefit for your health and the environment!

What detergent do you use on bamboo shams?

We recommend a mild liquid detergent like Ecos, Mrs. Myers, Woolite, Seventh Generation, ECover, or Kirkland Ultra Clean. We do not recommend bleach (except you may with the melange fabrics) fabric softeners, washer balls or dryer sheets/balls. We’ve noticed that harsher detergents can break down the fibers faster, shortening the lifespan of the linens and creating tears at the seams. 

Do they have buttons or zippers?

The decorative pillow throw with insert has an invisible zipper closure. This keeps the pillow shape nicely in place!

Do bamboo shams shrink?

Viscose from Bamboo will shrink the first time you wash them, but we’ve oversized the linens to allow for that shrinkage.

What is the thread count of BedVoyage bamboo shams?

BedVoyage bamboo linens have a thread count of 300. People often think high thread count equates to softest feel, but you will see that bamboo is about as soft as it gets! We've chosen 300 thread count as the sweet-spot for keeping the breathability of the linens, but also the silky feel.

Will oil stains come out of bamboo?

Yes, you can rub a spot remover on the stain pre-wash, or use a little Dawn dish washing liquid directly on the oil stain, Dawn is a natural degreaser. Or spray a chlorine-free stain remover directly onto the stain, or use a mixture of white vinegar to 4-parts water, sprayed or poured onto the stain; this should remove the stains during laundering.

What is Bamboo Viscose and Rayon from Bamboo?

Both terms are virtually interchangeable and mean ‘the process’ of breaking down the bamboo stalk into a fiber. Because the end fiber is indistinguishable from other wood pulps (ie; eucalyptus, beech wood, pine, etc)  the Federal Trade Commission requires that it be called either viscose or rayon from bamboo. We have chosen to use both words in describing our fabric so that customers can recognize either term.

Can I iron bamboo shams?

Yes, you can iron them and even use high heat and steam, it will not hurt them. But another trick is that if you dry them on high for the last 10 minutes of the cycle (if you forgot to take them out immediately) they will come out smoother. 

Does it hurt to use hot water in the wash?

No, you won't hurt the fabric, it just may shrink a little bit. If that happens, just wash again and when wet; pull at the ends to lengthen it a bit and dry flat.

How long do zippered shams last?

When laundered properly they should last between 5-7 years.  We recommend removing the insert before laundering, then zip closed the sham to keep the integrity of the zipper while laundering.

Do the colors fade?

No, we have used reactive dye to keep the colors deep and true. We don’t recommend bleach, and we do recommend laundering with like-colors so that other darker items do not bleed onto fabric.
