What is the best way to care for towels?
Washing: • Exposed to oil, soil, and germs; wash towels in warm water with laundry detergent. If the towels are white, they should occasionally be washed with chlorine bleach. • Cotton is a natural fiber and new towels will shed some loose fibers. • Avoid fabric softeners—they contain silicon that will make the towels water repellent. Drying: While tumble drying will make the towel fluffy, do not overdo, as the heat from the dryer can damage the integrity of the cotton. We recommend using a lower heat setting occasionally or alternate between air and heat drying. Absorbency: To maximize the absorbency of a towel, add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle, once a month, to restore the towel to full absorbency. The vinegar removes any excess detergent, which can affect the towels’ absorbency. Pulled Threads: As all our towels are woven, a pulled loop will not unravel the towel. If you catch the towel and pull a loop, cut off the pulled loop with a pair of scissors.
