What is Sateen?

A sateen bamboo fabric is made using a satin weave structure but made with spun yarns instead of filament. It's smooth and silky against the skin and is particularly comfortable for those who run warm in their sleep.

Care Instructions

Golden Rule

This is the golden rule with all bamboo items as hot water can cause shrinkage and cold water is guaranteed not to do this. Do not fear about nasty bacteria growing in sheets and needing hot water to get rid of it. Bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal so they will stay fresh even during a cold wash cycle and then line dry to ensure their soft texture.

Only Use Delicate Laundry Detergents & Recommended Cycle.

We recommend you use gentle washing liquids or powders as they guarantee to be kind to your fabric. We recommend some of the natural ones found at your local supermarket such as the Earth Choice Wool & Delicates.

You may choose to continue to use your regular detergent, just be mindful that some do contain brighteners and bleach which may have a staining effect on your sheets.

Always use a gentle cycle and do not put in the same wash cycle as any abrasive fabrics. If you need to remove stains from your sheets, look for something natural from your supermarket. Again Earth's Choice has some excellent non-bleach or chlorine based products.

Rules For Drying & Making Your Sheets Crease Free.

As with just about every fabric, the most risk free results come from line drying flat and out of direct sunlight, but we know this is not always possible. If you lead a busy life and rely on your tumble drier, the good news is that you can do so as long as you dry the sheets on a cool and delicate cycle. If you like to iron your sheets, some might call you crazy, but as long as you iron on a cool setting you will be fine. If you would like the natural way of getting your sheets crease free, spread them out flat, draped over your line and the weight of them will pull the creases out.

Occasionally with bamboo you might see some pilling occur on the sheets and towels. As bamboo is a natural fibre, this pilling is normal, especially in response to friction and isn't a fault or defect. The pilling will naturally shed and can be reduced or removed during the washing and drying process (as per the care instructions). The pilling is usually removed after 5 or 6 washes, or earlier. Pilling doesn't always occur but it's also not unusual in the initial use period, it depends on the amount of friction and body heat.
