Why are my items pilling?Updated 2 years ago

Kyte Baby products have the highest ratio of bamboo on the market (97% bamboo). Bamboo is a delicate fabric and can sometimes pill due to surface abrasion. For example, crawling on carpet, rubbing against non-bamboo clothing/fabric while being worn, held, or during laundering can all cause pilling. We recommend using bamboo crib sheets and/or changing pad covers if possible.


Luckily, pilling does not affect the functionality of the items, and they will maintain their softness. Our policy does not cover replacing items due to pilling, as it is within the nature of the fabric to a certain extent.


To reduce pilling, we recommend washing in cold water, with other bamboo fabrics, on a gentle cycle, then hanging to dry. We recommend washing layette items inside out to reduce pilling and sleep bags should be washed zipped up, not inside out, to protect the interior quilting.
