I travel a lot for my studies and so often end up eating all alone in local restaurants. I usually take a novel or magazine with me to prevent boredom. Last week, I was in JEFFERSON CITY MO where I ate at ECCO Lounge and I read a new article to do with bamboo clothes. I did not know you could make clothing out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some fantastic qualities. It turns out bamboo fabric and clothing is softer than regular cotton. Apparently it is antibacterial and hypoallergenic. That is an excellent quality to have in a fabric. Bamboo clothing is extremely absorbent so it is a excellent possibility for gym clothes or also as bamboo towels. I was intrigued by this article so I had to find out if it was true. I searched online and bought a few basic items of clothing.

I must admit I was pretty impressed. The fabric absolutely is soft, kind of like silk. It was close to being dry as soon as I took it out of the washing machine which I thought was incredible. The other thing I noticed is that it did not particularly need ironing. I do not know if all bamboo clothes are like that but it is a quality I look for as I hate doing ironing.

After a little more research I discovered some amazing facts on bamboo. It is a product which is organic. It grows incredibly quickly which means it does not need fertilisers and they do not use pesticides either. Plus bamboo uses only a small amount of water during the growth period which means they can survive droughts.

I attempt to make eco-friendly choices whenever I go shopping. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable so it is my number one choice for clothes and other products such as sheets, blankets, curtains, and baby clothes.

You can find plenty of details on bamboo here and good information about organic farming and why to buy organic products.
