CARING FOR YOUR TOWELS
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
- Always Wash before use
- Warm wash – 60 degrees
- Do Not Bleach
- Warm Tumble Dry
- Wash after use in pool
- Do not Dry Clean
WASHING YOUR TOWEL- Always wash in warm water before use. Wash dark colours separately and it is recommended not to wash your towels with other garments.
PRINTED TOWELS – If you towel has been printed, it is just like a new pair of jeans, and it is normal for excess ink to come out of the towel during the wash and rinse cycle. It is also normal for ink transfer to occur if the print area is rubbed against an unprinted area before washing. DO NOT RUB THE PRINT AREA OF THE TOWEL.
DRYING YOUR TOWEL - To achieve a softer towel we suggest a tumble dry after washing. However it is possible to over dry the towel which will remove the natural moisture content in the fabric and cause the towel to feel rough. Do not leave your towels wet or damp as this may cause mildew and possible staining.
PULLED LOOPS - Jewelry, watches and even ‘hang nails’ can create a ‘pull’ in the towel. Should this inadvertently happen, DO NOT PULL THE THREADS. Just carefully snip the thread with sharp scissors. This will not have a detrimental effect on the life of the towel.
ABSORBENCY - Frequent washing with fabric conditioners or water softeners can reduce the absorbency of your towel, by building up a fine water-resistant layer on the cotton fibers. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using these softeners. If your towels do not absorb water as well as when you first bought them, wash them a couple of times without softener and tumble dry.
LINTING, FLUFFING OR PILLING - It is normal for new towels to lint or pill. In the unlikely event that your towels have excessive linting, please wash them two or three times to remove the surface lint/fluff. Tumble drying also assists in the removal of fluff. Remember to clean out the filters on your washing machine and Tumble dryer.
REMOVING STAINS - Make up or Sun tan lotions should be soaked in warm soapy water, and then wash as directed.
FADING COLOURS - Some washing powders contain optical brighteners. Please wash your towels in a washing product that is designed for coloured washes. Always follow manufacturers instructions. Uneven fading can occur if washing powders or detergent come into direct contact with the towel. Some regular household products such as bleach, toilet cleaners or some beauty treatments can bleach or cause colour changes to your towel. If the chemicals come into direct contact with your towel, gently wash in cold water before washing as normal. DO NOT USE BLEACH or ANY WHITENING AGENTS on the towels.
