My Mother Loves Bamboo Towels, Now.

Hello Bamboo Nook Friends!

When my mother heard that I was selling bamboo towels she got a little concerned. "Are they scratchy?" "Are they soft?" "What are they like?" These are the questions I was faced with. Well, she liked the midnight blue colors so she got a set of silky, soft bamboo towels for Christmas. After feeling them and trying them out she was very pleased.

I imagine these are not uncommon questions for people that haven't experienced the satin like feel of bamboo towels. While I can't give everyone their own set to try out, I can suggest that you purchase a package and try them out for yourself. If you aren't as happy about them as my mother was we have a money back satisfaction guarantee.

When I told my mom that we were going to start offering bamboo kitchen towels the first question she asked was, "When can I get some?!" I think everyone that tries our bamboo towels will feel that way, and I think you will too. If you haven't tried bamboo towels yet, you can buy bamboo towels here.

Have a great day!

How to care for clothing and linens made from bamboo

Hello Bamboo Nook Friends!

If you have never owned any bamboo clothing or linens then you may be wondering if products made from bamboo are easier or more difficult to care for. We hope this article will help.

If you do already own some bamboo cloths or linens, then you should look for the tag attached to your bamboo towel, bamboo sheet, or other bamboo fiber product for the instructions specific for that product. If you haven't purchased a set of wonderfully absorbent bamboo towels or a some silky, soft bamboo sheets, then there are some general guidelines that I think you will find helpful.

In general, bamboo clothing and linens are as easy or easier to care for as cotton or other popular fabric derived products. Here are some main points from Pure-Fiber about how to care for your bamboo products. Pure Fiber is an industry leader in providing safe, green, sustainable fabrics and we're very pleased to be able to make their 100% viscose from bamboo towels, blended cotton / viscose from bamboo towels, and bamboo bed sheets available to you.

  • Bamboo clothing and linens can be washed in a washer just like most all of your other clothing.
  • You should use either cold or warm water.
  • An all natural laundry detergent is advisable, but not required.
  • Dry them on tumble dry low.
  • It is not a good idea to use bleach.

Pretty simple, right? Nothing more complicated than washing any other type of clothing or linen.

If you have been on the fence about buying a set of super absorbent bamboo towels, or some soft, silky bamboo sheets because you thought they would be a hassle to care for, then I hope this article has changed your mind. Bamboo products are good for the environment, but I believe they are better quality, too.

You deserve the best. Browse our 100% viscose from bamboo towels, blended cotton / viscose from bamboo towels, and bamboo bed sheets today and save 5% every time you shop BambooNook.com when you create an account (must be logged in to receive discount).

Have a great day!

Almost There!

It is looking very much like we will be ready for business on, and possibly before, May 15th.

The site is currently working, so feel free to purchase products. We offer PayPal and Google Checkout, currently.

What we are working on getting wrapped up is our newsletter and our Google Adwords campaign. Neither of these are critical to allow customers to make a purchase, but we would like to see them established by the deadline.

We encourage you to check out the BambooNook.com store. If you have any questions or comments send us an email.

Have a great day!

New Product Alert!

We are excited that we will be adding a new line of products over the next two weeks.

What are they?

Bamboo kitchenware! This includes bamboo cutting boards, and bamboo silverware tray, and other kitchenware products made from bamboo.

We think you will be as excited about these new products as we are. The more items around the house that can be replaced with bamboo, the more interest will grow in bamboo, and the lower prices will become due to more competition, and the better we treat our environment.

We will put up a post when we are finished adding these products to our "shelves."

BambooNook.com Launch Progress Report

It may seem a bit unusual for a business to be so open about what is going on, but if you have viewed our corporate website, Anax Enterprises LLC, then you are already familiar with the type of business we want to be.

The SSL certificate has been installed, and we are getting ready to set up the shipping schedule. Since our products come from all around the United States, it is a bit of a challenge to make sure that the shipping amounts are correct for each of the products.

After the internal tasks are taken care of we will begin working on a Google AdWords campaign. We want everyone to know about the wonderful, renewable products we have available.

We're very excited about being able to offer these products for two reasons.

First, we are excited because these are renewable products. I am not a scientist, so I won't even pretend to say I know anything about global warming. However, I am a business person, and from a business perspective it just makes sense to use products derived from sources that don't require a long wait time to replenish those resources. The faster the resources can be replenished the greater the supply. When supply is plentiful it causes prices to stay low, and that is good for everyone.

Secondly, they are great products! Bamboo t-shirts, towels, sheets, and bathrobes are soft and comfortable. Bamboo lamps are elegant and stylish. Bamboo floor mats are a great way to keep your entry ways clean and prevent them from getting all scuffed up.

We hope that you find our openness a positive experience, and I look forward to continuing this dialog with you.

Preparing to launch

We are very excited about our up coming launch date of May 15th.

One of the projects we are currently working on is SSL. Although having SSL isn't really necessary in our case currently because PayPal and Google checkout are available and supply their own SSL security, there are still some membership areas such as purchase history and address information during checkout that we believe should have the added protection of SSL.

We believe we have a good start on bamboo derived products that everyone can enjoy, but we will continue to add more products as we move forward.

One product category that I am especially excited about is the bamboo lamps. These are hand crafted bamboo lamps made by artists in Asia. Since each lamp is hand crafted with loving care each lamp will have its own uniqueness.

Another great category is the bamboo t-shirts. 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton; these t-shirts are comfortable!

Take a look around and let us know what you think. We would love to answer any questions and read any comments or suggestions you have.
