Bamboo Pajamas - How To Care For Bamboo Fabric

A sustainable plant, bamboo can be processed and made into a soft fabric much like Rayon. Because it grows and regrows quickly, it has recently experienced a surge as one of the latest eco fashion trends. You can find lots of bamboo and blended products online, whether for home items such as towels and sheets or for clothing such as shirts and pants.
