Bamboo Towels

I went shopping with my husband and he came across some bamboo towels. Wow, we thought, bamboo in towels. They felt soft and were absorbant too; we decided to buy some.

We tried them out and loved them so much, we went back for more.

Bamboo is a tree like grass and is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. There are over 1,000 species of bamboo. With some varieties growing 100 feet in a single growing season, they make a great renewable resource.

Bamboo fibers are strong and durable. Used in clothing (I also love my bamboo pajamas.) to hardwood floors, and in many Asian food dishes, bamboo is also a versatile resource.

Care for Your Bamboo Towels 

To care for your bamboo towels, you can wash them in the washing machine on the gentle cycle. The fibers will last longer if you do not use bleach or fabric softener.

Dryer Balls on Amazon Spotlight 

As Seen On TV Anti-Static Dryer Balls - ASDBPB

Amazon Price: $4.95 (as of 07/13/2009)Buy Now

I started using dryer balls, clothes come out less wrinkled and towels come out fluffier.

I do notice that there is a bit more lint in the dryer afterwards, and that also they dry in a shorter amount of time. So I figure to lean towards the side of saving electricity.

Bamboo is used in socks - Amazon 

I was at the store the other day and came across Bamboo Socks! The ones I got are thin, which if you don't want a lot of thickness is a great thing. So check out for the thickness to make sure they fit your needs.

I put them in the laundry with my other socks and they washed up well and retained their softness.

It's crazy what a huge niche Bamboo is becoming. When I was first learning how to find a niche I came across so many bamboo keywords. I had no idea how popular it had become. Unfortunately I had no interest in writing about it...ha ha Great topic! I'm so glad I found you on Squidoo.... I try to get to all the great lenmasters! **5**
