Product Care

 

Our 100% cotton towels are machine washable up to 40°C/105°F. To maintain your light-coloured towels, we recommend washing them with only similar colours. They can then be line-dried in shade. For optimal softness, we recommend tumble drying on low heat. Do not dry clean.

To get the best out of your towels here are some tips

1. We advise soaking them in cold water for 24 hours and then washing them according to the instructions before first use

2. Soda Pop: Add ½ cups of baking soda to the first wash to help your towels' fiber relax and become more absorbent.

3. Due to the fiber’s special nature, your towel will become softer and more absorbent over time when it is cared for according to the instructions. Linen Harbour Towels should be washed after every 3-4 uses to keep them hygienic and bacteria-free. For towels used at the gym or after sports, we recommend washing after every use with mild detergent on a gentle machine cycle wash.

4. Less is More: Too much detergent leaves soap residue on your towels, making them stiff. Use natural detergent to protect the integrity of the towel and avoid using softeners or oxidising/chlorine-based bleaching agents.

5. Soften with Vinegar: Fabric softener contains silicon, which makes your towels water repellant. Use good, old-fashioned vinegar instead.

6. Always wash and dry your towels separately from the rest of the laundry. Keeping the load lighter will help your machine get a deeper clean. This step also helps avoid buttons and zippers from other garments getting caught on the towel threads.

7. Avoid household cleansers and toothpaste, which may contain certain ingredients that cause towels to change colour or cause spotting or discolouration. Facial cleansers and self-tanners may also cause persistent dark stains. Wash excess products off your skin to prevent that from happening.

8. Make sure the towels are completely dry before folding and storing them. Storing them wet will result in unwanted smells over time.
