Drying
- Tumble dry gentle
- Hang dry in shade

- If machine drying is needed, keep the temperature below 35 °C to prevent excessive shrinkage
- Spread the item to dry where possible - this avoids excessive tension on the garment and prevents deformation

Why These Limits Matter for Bamboo
Bamboo fiber is a regenerated cellulose fiber. It is exceptionally soft, but heat and mechanical stress damage it faster than they damage cotton. High wash temperature and long immersion swell and weaken the fiber, high drying temperature causes shrinkage, wringing distorts the knit structure, and direct strong sunlight fades reactive dyes. Following the limits above keeps the hand feel, dimensions and color stable through the product's full life.
