FAQs

What does 550GSM mean?

GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter'. A higher GSM, like 550, indicates a denser, heavier, and generally more absorbent and softer towel.

Can I use fabric softener with these towels?

It is recommended to avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the towel fibers and reduce their absorbency over time.

How often should I wash my towels?

It's generally recommended to wash bath towels every 3-4 days for optimal hygiene, or more frequently if used heavily.

What is the recommended washing temperature?

The recommended washing temperature is a maximum of 40°C (104°F) to preserve the fabric and colour.

Are these towels suitable for sensitive skin?

The towels are made from soft, absorbent material. However, for very sensitive skin, always ensure proper washing with mild detergents and avoid fabric softeners.

What are the dimensions of the bath towel?

Product dimensions are not specified in the provided information. Please refer to the retailer's product page for specific size details.

Troubleshooting

Towel feels less absorbent after washing.

This can be caused by detergent or fabric softener buildup. Try re-washing the towels with a small amount of white vinegar (about 1/2 cup) in the rinse cycle, without detergent, to help remove residues. Avoid using fabric softeners in future washes.

Colour seems to be fading.

Ensure you are washing with similar colours and using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach. Washing at a lower temperature (max 40°C) can also help preserve the colour.

Towel has loose threads.

If a single thread comes loose, try to carefully snip it with scissors to prevent it from unraveling further. Avoid pulling loose threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required for towels. Upon receiving them, it is recommended to wash them before first use to enhance absorbency and remove any manufacturing residues.

Compatibility: These towels are compatible with standard laundry machines and dryers. They are suitable for use in all home bathroom environments.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C (104°F) using a mild detergent. Wash with similar colours.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry in a well-ventilated area.
  3. Bleaching: Do not use bleach, as it can damage the fibres and affect the colour.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
  5. Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the towel's absorbency over time.
