I am in the process of launching my self-clean bedding fabric that doesn't require frequent washes. In the weaving process, we need to have a filler yarn made of cotton or bamboo. HN has helped me in shaping up the launch of my idea and I am here to ask you again for the final suggestion. Do you like the feel of bamboo better than cotton?
I would love to get your feedback on the website below...
I would like to thank everybody who contributed to this thread. I have come across a lot of brilliant suggestions and I am thankful for that.
carljoseph, the feeling when somebody validates your product is incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time out and replying. You can also signup so that once we launch you can help me spread the word :). Thanks again
thank you natch. I have gone through your message and the idea is really clever. I am using it :).
yes logn. I have got this suggestion a lot and I must say I never thought about these markets before. But I will definitely explore this potential.
thanks rex_gsd. will look into this option definitely.
yes natch you can do it through the contact form as well :).
ohh yes natch....I like the suggestion. A lot of people have suggested me to launch it on kickstarter. I also like your idea about launching pillowcases. I think its a must :). Thanks again :)
I am happy this product has convinced you :). And yes I have already got the patent pending status for it :).
hey jarnix, I really like your suggestion. Thanks :)
Thanks for your reply zasz. Your validation means a lot to me :) and will definitely keep your suggestions in mind.
You can signup so that you can be informed once we launch :).
Natch, you are right this fabric can obviously NOT get human skin flakes, semen, lube etc off of your sheets. But it will prevent bacteria from developing and feeding on this stuff. I have done a lot of research and what I found was that people have accepted the fact that they are shedding millions of dead skin cells every night on their sheets and its acting as a breeding ground for bacteria. This product is a solution for those who are aware of this problem. Take the example of acne. Dermatologists recommend changing pillowcases every night because its not the body excretions and dead skin cells that cause the damage, its the bacteria that feed on them that leads to acne and allergies.
manglav, you are right about silver being used in clothing but there is a difference. A lot of companies are using silver/metallic ion surface treatments that result in the transfer of "molecules". But I am using polymer that has silver bonded to it permanently. This has been approved and certified.
The other major development is my patent pending Silver double system. Normally, companies use a very low percentage of silver that is not uniformly present across the surface of the fabric. I have used this special weave structure where silver and milk fibers are present uniformly across the fabric.
Hi Yaur! Thanks for your reply. Yes I am trying to keep it at a reasonable price. I was hesitating but would love to share the website with you. Your comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks mani_batra. I have worked hard on developing it. built the website and all but kept everything to myself. Now when the big moment has come to actually get the word out, I am a bit hesitant.
Thank You so much for your reply Really means a lot.

I am a textile engineer and have been working on a fabric that self-cleans by incorporating special metallic ions in the weave structure. I have made the fabric but do you guys think it will be a commercially viable product? Would you want to buy such bedsheet that doesn't require frequent washes and lets you enjoy clean bedding for months? Your validation will be appreciated!
