Bamboo fibres can be used to create a textile fabric with multiple uses from ordinary clothing to a dish cloth. This soft fabric is claimed to have a number of excellent features such as naturally antibacterial, UV protective, anti-static with good ventilation and limited odor retention. Providing a texture between cashmere and silk, it is called the “breathing” fabric.

Processes
- Bamboo fibres are all cellulose fibre extracted or fabricated from natural bamboo, but they vary widely.
- Textiles labelled as being made from bamboo are usually not made by mechanical crushing and retting. They are generally synthetic rayon made from cellulose extracted from bamboo.
- Most of the bamboo used to make bamboo-derived rayon and its clothing is grown in China by Hebei Jigao Chemical Fiber Company, which holds several patents on processes for turning bamboo into fibre.
