Light and fluffy, soft and airy ... No, this is not about the cloud. Let's talk about a bamboo blanket. Surely you heard that they have become so popular lately. But why and for what qualities did people love the bamboo blanket so much ? Reviews of doctors, specialists and just buyers say that it has really rare and useful qualities.
The first attempts to create such a miracle were made at the end of the 20th century in China. But then the production methods of bamboo products were recognized as environmentally unsafe, and the production of blankets stopped for another good ten years. So far, Chinese inventors have not found an environmentally friendly method for you and me and you to obtain a special fabric by isolating cellulose from bamboo fiber. This was a powerful impetus to the production and wide distribution of such unique blankets.
Due to its filler, the bamboo blanket has a lot of excellent properties. It is not only extremely soft and environmentally friendly. It also has good breathability, instantly absorbs and evaporates moisture, creating an optimal healthy microclimate under the blanket and allowing the skin to “breathe”. Under it there is neither hot nor cold, but comfortable, stable heat is formed.
Bamboo fiber has a fairly smooth surface, and its diameter is smaller than a human hair. Due to this, it is not able to cause skin harm or discomfort. A blanket made of bamboo fiber does not irritate the skin and is completely safe for allergy sufferers. It is characterized by increased antibacterial and antiseptic properties: bacteria and microorganisms that have fallen on its surface die. Therefore, it is used in medical institutions to care for newborns and for people whose immunity is weakened.
Those who already have a bamboo blanket leave positive reviews about it. Products are always fresh (odor resistant), they can be used constantly (provide a comfortable temperature regime), they are very strong, durable and almost never wear out. As you can see, it is almost impossible to find a flaw in such blankets.
But how to care for a bamboo blanket? How to maintain its quality and extend its life?
Firstly, another big plus - the blanket can be washed in the machine, choosing the delicate "no spin" mode. Allow water to drain immediately by spreading the blanket on a horizontal grate. Washed and dried in this way, the bamboo fiber quickly straightens and very soon takes its previous shape.
Before using a bamboo blanket (reviews of those who already have one suggest), it is necessary to enrich it with oxygen. This is quite simple to do: in a warm, dry room it must be spread out and left for several hours. The blanket will straighten, gain splendor and original elasticity. Such a blanket must be periodically ventilated in the open air, especially in summer, in dry weather. It can be vacuumed and dry cleaned. But it is undesirable to store tightly closed or packed for a long time in order to avoid deformation of the filler or damage to the outer fabric.
The choice of blankets made of bamboo fiber is very diverse: bright and calm colors, various sizes, from huge doubles to children's ones. A blanket made of bamboo, reviews emphasize this, can be of different thicknesses. Only the natural facing, usually cotton, fabric and the unique, versatile and very useful fiber remain unchanged. By the way, now there are other, no less useful, bamboo products on sale: blankets, pillows, towels, there are also bedding and underwear. And everything is so soft, fluffy and airy.
