eco friday tipI have been a fan of bamboo ever since I bought a bamboo cloth diaper for the first time about two years ago. It was super soft like velour and quickly became a favorite. After that I got a couple bamboo cutting boards and some dinnerware pieces. That was as far as my exploration of bamboo went until recently. I don’t know why it took me so long to try some other bamboo products but it did.

Corinne at a great company called The Company Store sent me a bamboo towel and a set of luxurious bamboo sheets to try and all I can sat is WOW!!! I am hooked on bamboo.

If you want to know all the reasons why bamboo is a sustainable and earth friendly material read my article Much Ado About Bamboo. But the main reason why I love The Company Store products are because they are so high quality and so soft. The sheets retail for over $100.00 on their site but I would have thought they were valued at more because they are really luxurious and feel like satin but they are much more durable. Bamboo TowelsIf I had satin sheets I would not likely be hanging them out on the line but I can do that with these sheets AND the towel…and they do not get hard and crunchy like everything else. They stay super soft! There is nothing worse than crawling into a bed with crunchy sheets or grabbing a crunchy towel after a shower but that is no issue for bamboo. Since many of my towels are getting pretty ratty I am going to be phasing some of them into cleaning rags and purchasing some bamboo towels. A big plus for the towels and bath items is that bambo is antibacterial and discourages mildew. They also come in a variety of lovely colors….the meadow is gorgeous…as are the bath mats and other items they have at this wonderful earth friendly store.

So what are your experiences with bamboo?

    Bamboo fabric is great–strong, soft and pretty. I highly recommend BAMBOOSA.COM. They have a lot of kids items, shipping/returns are very reasonable, and the bamboo socks are amazing!

    Bamboo cloth! I had no idea!

    We put bamboo flooring down in our living room replacing carpeting. We love it. It is bright and beautiful and easy to clean.
