PRODUCT FAQ’s

Bamboo baby towels are best cared for by washing in warm water with an eco-friendly liquid detergent, and drying on medium heat. Proper washing will extend their life. Also, bamboo has natural bacteria, odor and mildew resistance so there is no need to bleach. A great benefit for your baby's health and the environment!

We recommend a mild liquid detergent like Ecos, Mrs. Meyers, Woolite, Seventh Generation, Ecover, or Kirkland Ultra Clean. We do not recommend bleach, 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 towels.

When laundered properly they do not easily snag, but if you do develop one; simply cut the snag with sharp scissors and it should not continue to run. Try not to launder bamboo towels with things that can stick or cling, such as velcro or hooks.

We’ve made the towel to fit newborns to a 40 pound child, or to about 6 years old. The Baby Washcloths can be used for many purposes, such as wiping hands or face, as a burp cloth, or cleaning up spills.

They should never get a mildew smell as bamboo fibers are naturally resistant to mildew, odors and bacteria. You can even accidentally leave a load of bamboo towels in the washer all day and not have to rerun them like you would with cotton towels.

Yes, you can hang the towel by its hood, and it will generally dry overnight, ready for use the next day.

Due to its natural ability to resist odors; you can reuse the towel for 3-7 days before laundering. This is a nice laundry time-saver!

Stains can be removed by trying either of the following :

• Prewash the towels with ¼ cup Dawn dish washing liquid and then launder as usual, Dawn is a natural degreaser.

• Spray Oxy Clean or a spot remover directly onto the stain then launder.

BedVoyage linens are manufactured responsibly at some of the largest home textile factories in India.

This ensures that there is no child labor, the workers are not over-worked or under paid, and work in an environment where there are safeguards in place to ensure their health and safety.  We work with Fair Trade and LEED certified factories, that have the Oeko-Tex Standard in Textiles certification. We are proud to be processing our bamboo in such a responsible factories!

Both terms are interchangeable and refer to the same process of breaking down bamboo stalks into fiber. Because the resulting fiber is chemically indistinguishable from other wood pulps (e.g., eucalyptus, beechwood, pine), the Federal Trade Commission requires that it be labeled either viscose or rayon from bamboo. We use both terms so customers can recognize either name.

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 their life.

They will get a soft wrinkle where your baby lies, but they will never get a hard crease like cotton sheets do.  We have chosen not to coat our linens with formaldehyde, which is what the cotton industry does to make them wrinkle-resistant, as we want to offer the most eco-conscious product for your baby so they sleep healthier.

Viscose from Bamboo will shrink the first time you wash them, but we’ve oversized the linens to allow for that shrinkage. As our baby sleeps on them, bamboo tends to ‘grow’ but each time you wash and dry them they go back to being a nice snug fit.

BedVoyage bamboo linens have a thread count of 300, which in the bamboo linen world is quite high. We’ve chosen 300 thread count as the sweet-spot for keeping the breathability of the linens, but also the silky feel against your baby's tender skin.

Stains can be removed by trying any of the following :

• Prewash the crib sheet or swaddle with ¼ cup Dawn dish washing liquid and then launder as usual, Dawn is a natural degreaser.

• Spray Oxy Clean or a chlorine-free stain remover directly onto the stain and then launder as usual.

• a mixture of 1-part white vinegar to 4-parts water, sprayed or poured onto the stain; this should remove the stains during laundering.

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.

It’s 6" to fit most cribs, with elastic all the way around the edge, not just at the corners like many crib sheets. The fitted sheet will stay snug and never pop off.

More than just a swaddle! You can use it as a stroller cover, a carseat blankie, as a tummy-time blanket or a nursing cover. When your baby outgrows the swaddling, it can become their favorite lovey!
