Product Information
Full details
The Towel City Microfibre Guest Towel is an ideal choice for homeowners and hosts looking for a compact, efficient hand-drying solution that balances luxury with utility. Its primary strength lies in its high-absorbency microfibre construction, which dries significantly faster than traditional cotton towels; however, users should note that the 280gsm weight provides a lighter feel that may not offer the heavy, plush thickness associated with premium bath sheets.

FAQs
Can I iron this towel?
No, it is not recommended to iron microfibre as the high heat can damage or melt the synthetic fibres.
Does the white colour fade?
Microfibre is generally colourfast, but avoid using bleach to keep the white fabric looking bright and clean.
What is the weight of the towel?
This towel has a density of 280gsm, making it lightweight and fast-drying.
Can I use this towel for a shower?
While highly absorbent, the 30 x 50cm size is specifically designed as a hand or guest towel, not as a full-body bath towel.
Is the towel suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the microfibre is soft and gentle, but it is recommended to wash it first to ensure the fabric is clean and free of packaging dust.
Troubleshooting
The towel feels less absorbent after several washes
Fabric softener buildup is likely the cause. Wash the towel again with a cup of white vinegar added to the rinse cycle to strip away residue.
The towel is snagging or pulling
Avoid washing with items that have hooks, zippers, or velcro, as these can catch on the microfibre weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Towel City Microfibre Guest Towel, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Wash: Wash the towel before the first use to remove any production debris and improve absorbency.
- Washing Instructions: Machine wash in warm water using a mild detergent. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the microfibres and significantly reduce their absorbent capabilities.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Because of the quick-drying nature of microfibre, air drying is often sufficient and helps preserve the integrity of the fibres.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the synthetic material.
