Quick answer
Wash your bamboo ruffled jumbo quilt in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softener and high heat to preserve the bamboo fibers and ruffled trim.
Why bamboo fabric needs special care
Bamboo viscose is naturally soft and breathable, but it's also more delicate than cotton. High heat and harsh detergents can weaken the fibers, causing pilling or shrinkage. The ruffled trim on a jumbo quilt adds extra fabric that can snag or lose its shape if not handled gently.
Before the first wash
Always wash your bamboo quilt before using it. This removes any manufacturing residue and allows the fabric to reach its full softness. The Bamboo Ruffled Jumbo Quilt - Bow My Gosh is designed to get softer with each wash, so don't skip this step.
Step-by-step washing instructions
- 1. Pre-treat stains gently: Spot-clean any stains with a mild baby-safe detergent and cool water. Rub gently with your fingers—do not scrub or use a brush, which can damage the bamboo fibers. Avoid bleach or stain removers with harsh chemicals.
- 2. Machine wash on cold, gentle cycle: Place the quilt in the machine alone or with similar soft items. Use cold water and the delicate or gentle cycle. Add a small amount of liquid detergent—skip fabric softener, as it coats bamboo fibers and reduces breathability. Fabric softener can make the quilt less absorbent and reduce its natural cooling effect.
- 3. Tumble dry on low heat: Remove the quilt from the washer promptly and tumble dry on low heat. High heat can shrink bamboo fabric and damage the ruffled edges. Remove while slightly damp to avoid over-drying, which causes stiffness. If you prefer line drying, hang the quilt in the shade to prevent fading from direct sunlight.
