Problem with bedding

Don’t know about bamboo but do double wash all my bedding and towels at 60 and that includes silk pillow cases that are fine after many washes !

Dettol Sensitive Laundry Additive. It's ok for sensitive skins (mine is and I use it) and great for underwear, towels, washcloths and bedding. If you want fabric softener like Comfort, you can always do a quick extra rinse with that added, after using the Dettol rinse.

Modern wash detergent is formulated to remove body oils, stains and bacteria at low temperatures, it doesn’t compare with the soap powder of days gone by, so I don’t think you need to worry about washing things at 30 degrees now, I don’t although I do like the power of the sun to keep my sheets white.

I’ve been wondering this. We were told to wash sheets and other white cotton including underwear at 60 0r even 90 degrees to destroy bacteria, yet we are now told 30 is sufficient. All to do with energy saving.

Always used 40 degree in wash. But hang out in sunshine and credit UV rays for extra zapping. I have asthma and change bedding frequently. Also have extra covers on pillows and put bedding in sun from time to time.

I love my bamboo pillow but I'm not sure the cover is bamboo.

I recently washed the cover on a hot 60 degree wash with no problems.

I still do believe in hot washes as I have lots of allergies but I understand bamboo does have anti-bacterial/allergenic properties so I would just go with what the manufacturer recommends.

I have no experience of bamboo bedding, but no-one with sensitive skin should go anywhere near anything that has Dettol in it in my experience!

And I believe bamboo does have natural anti-bacterial protection, but whether this extents to products made from bamboo or not I do not know.

I am afraid it is a matter of trial and error. Obviously, to start with you will want to follow the maker's washing-instructions.
Later on, you can experiment with a higher temperature wash if you like.

We caught covid from a slightly sticky supermarket trolley, and I am positive that was where we got it from. Unless you wash everything you cannot kill germs and you need to be in contact with some otherwise you will never gain immunity.

This belief that we have to boil the guts out of our bedding is so dated and wrong.
Where are all these germs coming from?
We all wash or shower every day, don’t we? We change our clothes regularly?
If people believe they are transferring all these germs to their bedding then unless your changing your bedding every day its meaningless because by the end of the week you are sleeping in those so called germs

Rinse it with white vinegar .

Is bamboo not reputed to have natural anti- bacterial properties?

I wash my bamboo bedding at 30°. All fine.

I have never washed anything above 40 degrees in my life. In this weather, I hang everything out to dry, which helps. I would not bother about it.

I wash everything at 30* never had a problem

I use Dettol antibacterial laundry sanitiser when I wash towels and bed linen. It can be used in a cold wash.

I have a grounding sheet I wash that at 30deg and I find it to be ok.
