Light Grey Supima Cotton Hand Towel

Care

• 1

  Wash regularly

  It comes down to personal preference how frequently you wash your towels. We recommend every 5-7 days if you use them for a daily bath or shower. Hand towels in a busy household will need to be washed after one or two days’ use. Wash at 30°C for best results – modern detergents mean there’s no need to use a higher temperature. It’s also kinder to the environment.

  Dry consciously

  You can line dry or tumble dry this towel. Line drying your towel is a greener option, just give it a good shake out before you put it away to fluff up those lovely cotton fibres. If you choose to tumble dry then remove your towel from the dryer before it’s completely dry to avoid a dried-out crispy feel.

  Check your detergent

  Always use the best detergent for the product you are washing. Use powdered detergent for white towels and bathmats and liquid detergent for coloured towels and bathmats. Never use fabric conditioner when washing towels. It coats the fibres and makes them less absorbent and more scratchy over time.

  Avoid detergents and stain removers containing optical brighteners

  They can create an optical illusion that changes the appearance of the colour that looks like a bleached mark. It’s not just detergents that can affect your towels; some creams, suncream (especially day-long formulas), facewashes and even toothpastes contain chemicals that will bleach your towels, such as benzoyl peroxide. Make up and bronzers can also stain your towels; we’d recommend you avoid using pale coloured towels if you’ve used fake tan.
