Can a bamboo pillow be washed: how to wash bamboo pillows

The bamboo fibers from which the outer pillowcase and filler are made are very strong, resilient and soft. Even after industrial processing, they retain the antimicrobial and anti-allergenic properties of the plant. Therefore, pillows made of this material have a beneficial effect on human skin, protect the face and neck from wrinkles and edema. The elastic padding does not wrinkle, fixes the position of the head, supports the neck well. People with diseases of the respiratory organs, stomach and cardiovascular system are recommended to use this useful bedding.

But bamboo materials have certain “vagaries”. Fibers very quickly absorb moisture, and hence dirt.

The filler foam does not tolerate harsh physical influences. The active ingredients in washing powders are even more aggressive.

In order not to spoil the product, you need to follow the rules for caring for it. Here they are:

• a pillow made of bamboo fiber is not recommended to be washed in a washing machine – this will irreparably ruin the filler. You can also not give the product to dry cleaning.
• Gentle hand wash is acceptable.
• The water in the basin should be between +20 and + 25 ° C. It must be poured just enough to cover the pillow.
• The detergent is preferably liquid. It is put a little less than what is needed according to the instructions for a given volume of water. Do not use bleaching compounds.
• Wash with gentle strokes, then rinse thoroughly until water is clear.

The washed pillow should not be placed in the dryer, as high temperatures destroy the filler. The product is placed on a clean, flat surface. Best to dry in the sun if the day is not very hot. From time to time, turn the pillow over and beat slightly so that no lumps form. Bamboo fiber cannot be ironed, and it is not required – it will itself take its previous shape.
