Clothing care
To avoid spots, colour fading and fabric disintegration, keep your garments away from contact with alcohol-based products - such as perfumes, colognes, hair spray and lotions. When such alcohol-based products vaporise they leave invisible marks, which appear as spots after washing and dry-cleaning. To avoid these marks, remember to apply such products sparingly. Deodorants and antiperspirants also tend to fade coloured clothes and weaken fabric. So make sure your deodorant dries thoroughly before you dress.

Bamboo fibre:
- Is extremely soft and comfortable to wear.
- Allows your skin to "breathe" naturally.
- Is eco-friendly. It's grown without the need for pesticides, insecticides and fertilisers and is the fastest growing plant in the world - requiring less water to grow, absorbing more carbon dioxide and releasing more oxygen.
- Reduces eczema triggers because of its sweat-wicking, thermo-regulating and natural antibacterial properties.
- Is three times more absorbent than normal cotton.
- Is soft to the touch, so you don't need to use fabric softener when washing.
