How to Care for
Your Towels
Finding the perfect towels, in the right size, color, and plushness is a rare find. You want
to make sure you take care of your new towels and extend their life the best way
possible. Check out some of our helpful tips and tricks to keep your towels looking and
feeling just as good as the day you bought them.
Before using your towels for
the first time, make sure to
wash them. Washing opens
the fibers, reduces shedding,
sets their color, and improves
their absorbency.
Use dryer sheets, but avoid
liquid fabric softeners.
They leave a film that
compromises absorbency.
Shake out your towels in-
between washing and
drying to promote air
circulation and aid drying.
Limit the size of your wash load.
Putting too many towels in at
once can not only damage your
washing machine, but also limit
your towels’ ability to dry and
reduce their softnesss.
Stick to washing towels with
only other towels. Mixing towels
with other linens can lead to
increased pilling and damaging
of the fibers due to the need to
over-dry.
If you notice your towels
aren’t as soft as they were
when you bought them, add
vinegar to the wash cycle to
help remove chemical and
hard water build-up.
Be careful with skincare
products (specifically those
that contain benzoyl peroxide)
as they are known to fade
color and/or cause spots on
fabrics.
Wash whites separately.
Add a bleaching agent to
brighten them if needed.
Follow the dryer heat
setting listed on the
towels’ manufacturer
label.
Keep shrinkage to a
minimum by washing in cool
or warm water.
After each use, hang your
towels on a hook to dry or
spread it out on a bar so it
can dry thoroughly between
uses.
Sort towels by lights and
darks before washing to
resist fading and to cut down
on transferring lint from
lighter colors.
After a while, even the best towels
wear out. A worn-out towel may
still look okay, but simply doesn’t
absorb as well. A good rule of
thumb is to replace the towels you
use regularly every two to three
years.
Towels should be washed
and dried after about three
uses to prevent odor, mold
and mildew.
