Questions

Are bamboo baby blankets warm? Are bamboo baby blankets better than cotton blankets?
A: Bamboo’s fibers trap warm air and insulate your baby while sleeping, and although it’s also a highly breathable and cooling blanket, the fibers sense baby’s particular needs and either keep them warmer or release the heat if they are overheating. Cotton blankets don’t have the same abilities as bamboo, so your baby will stay warmer with bamboo blankets.

Do you have to use a special detergent for bamboo baby blankets? How do you wash bamboo blankets?
A: We recommend a mild liquid detergent like Ecos, Mrs. Myers, Woolite, Seventh Generation, ECover, or Kirkland Ultra Clean. We do not recommend bleach, fabric softener, washer balls or dryer sheets/balls. Wash without any Velcro, hooks or snaps that can snag on the blanket.  Harsher detergents can break down the fibers faster, shortening the lifespan of the bamboo blanket.

Will bamboo baby blankets shrink?
A: Bamboo does shrink the first time you wash it, but we have oversized the blanket to allow for the shrinkage. If you wash the baby blanket in warm water, and dry on medium (not hot) you will keep it from shrinking.

Is Bamboo Viscose and Rayon from Bamboo the same thing?
A: Yes, the process of breaking down the bamboo stalk into a fiber is the same for both viscose or rayon.  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 one of those terms. We have chosen to call them ‘rayon viscose from Bamboo’ to be in line with what most large retailers are using, so that consumers are not confused. read more

Does the color ever fade?
A: No, we have used eco-friendly reactive dye to keep the colors deep and true and fade resistant.

Are bamboo blankets hypoallergenic? Are bamboo blankets soft?

A: Bamboo fibers are spun very round and smooth, so they don’t irritate skin the way that some rougher cotton fibers can. This is important for baby’s sensitive skin. Bamboo blankets feel silky soft against their skin and soothe skin irritations and eczema.
