Bamboo Bedding Plus (http://www.bamboobeddingplus.com) is excited to announce the addition of a new supplier for more bamboo bedding offerings.  Bed Voyage’s focus is similar to our own.  They are committed to sustainability, social responsibility and quality.

Aside from using bamboo for their sheets, blankets, shams and duvet covers, Bed Voyage has an extremely eco-friendly process.  They hold Oeko-Tex Confidence Certification, a review process conducted by large national retailers.  Their fiber processing is a “closed loop” system, meaning the solvent employed to transform the bamboo stalks to fiber is continually recycled during production.  This lowers emissions significantly, notably less than the manufacture of other man-made fibers.

Bed Voyage takes their commitment to social responsibility seriously.  In addition to keeping the emissions from their factories low, they only work with Asian factories that have passed a social responsibility audit: no children work at the factories that produce their linens; employees are paid fair wages and interviewed to make sure their working conditions are acceptable.

The quality of their bedding is exceptional.  Bed Voyage uses 100% bamboo in its line of bed bamboo bedding.  The bedding is constructed with a “twill weave”, making their extremely durable and exceptionally soft.  Their products are continually testing their products and conduct research to improve their products.  Knowing that what is on your bedding can seep into your pores while you sleep, Bed Voyage has omitted both Antimony Trioxide, a flame retardant, and formaldehyde, commonly used to make sheets wrinkle resistant.

Bamboo Bedding Plus is pleased to continue offering quality bamboo bedding and towels for the environmentally conscious consumer.  For more information and to view the selection Bed Voyage bedding and throws available go to www.bamboobeddingplus.com.

Bamboobeddingplus.com is an eco-friendly company, providing bamboo sheets and towels as an alternative to cotton, cotton blend and synthetic fiber bed and bath linens.

New Uses For the Dishwasher

Hello All.  Loved this article from RealSimple.com.  Surprising Uses For Your Dishwasher.  They do list baseball caps.  Put in dishwasher instead of washing machine which will bend them out of shape unless you use one of those contraptions advertised on Amazon. Do not wash with plates and silverware as food remnants can get caught in the cap. Here are a few other uses they recommend.

1.  Rain Boots.  They recommend taking the lining out and and laying them horizontally.  You can also wash flip flops by hooking them onto the tines in the washer.  FYI: Your Crocs are not dishwasher-safe.

2.  Fan grills, switch plates and vent coverings can go in if they are steel, aluminum or plastic.  If enameled, painted or plated, do not put them in.  I am not sure where the grates over the heating elements on the stove fit in but I have put them in the dishwasher and had good results getting sticky stuff off.


3.  Shin guards, knee pads and mouth guards can be thrown in the top shelf of the dishwasher for a cleaning.

4.  Garden can be washed in the machine as long as the handles are not wood.  Since they may have come in contact with fertilizer or pesticides, they should not be washed with a load of dishes.

5.  Potatoes.  This one is my favorite.  Can put potatoes through the rinse cycle.  Do not use any detergent.  The author comments that is makes mashed potatoes for 20 a lot quicker than the traditional way.  They also claim you can make salmon in the dishwasher.  If you are interested, here is the recipe.  It does leave a smell in you dishwasher, so be warned.

For their full list of items, you can consult the article.  If you would like some tips on the "proper" way to load a dishwasher, check out their article, The Secret Life of Your Dishwasher.
