If your bamboo garment requires ironing, set your iron to a low heat setting. Too much heat can scorch or burn the fabric. To protect the bamboo fibers, place a thin cloth or press cloth between the iron and the garment.
6. Store Properly
When not wearing, store your bamboo clothing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help prevent any potential fading or discoloration. Avoid hanging bamboo garments on sharp hooks or hangers that may cause snags or stretching.
