Bath towels are probably the hardest working items in our households. After all, they keep us clean, dry us off, act as decor elements in our bathroom and, occasionally, wipe up after your furry friend tracks mud into the house. Nevertheless, despite their versatility and variety of uses, many people don't put much thought into the type of towels they use. And that's exactly why I'm here today, to help you out choose nothing but the best for your home. Introducing, the awesome benefits of bamboo bath sheets and towels.
Bamboo bath sheets and towels are known for their luxuriously soft and fluffy texture. Rayon in bamboo towels makes them much fluffier and silkier than cotton towels and they tend to get softer over time while still maintaining their durability for years to come. Furthermore, bamboo towels are much more absorbent than all other materials, still staying unbelievably soft even after hundreds of times being washed and dried.
Furthermore, bamboo bath sheets and towels are eco-friendly – the growing of bamboo requires very little water and it does not need any pesticides to grow. Plus, a bamboo stalk can grow 3-4 feet a day, which makes bamboo an ecologically conscious choice. Not to mention the fact that it releases 35% more oxygen into the air than other trees do.
Bamboo bath sheets and towels are naturally anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-static. In other words, it is the safest choice if you have a baby as bamboo towels do not cause any allergic reactions and will keep your little one perfectly warm and cozy. This fabric is known to kill about 70% of bacteria even after it has been washed more than 50 times. So even if you leave your damp bamboo towel in the gym locker for a while, it won't get that funky damp smell.
When it comes to caring for bamboo towels, you should definitely wash them before using them for the first time. In order to prevent towel shrinking and snagging of the loops, carefully follow their label instructions. They should be laundered with lukewarm water on delicate washing and should be only combined with similar colours. Mind you, do not add bleach! When drying, set the temperature on low heat. Using fabric softeners is not really recommended as they tend to block the micro-gaps in the fibers, which may lead to reduced absorbency.
