Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the towel is straightforward; simply remove it from the provided EVA case and unclip the press-stud loop if hanging it to dry. For maintenance, the material is fully machine washable. It is recommended to wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer and to avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the microfibers and reduce the towel's natural absorbency over time. Always ensure the towel is completely dry before storing it in its case for long periods to prevent odors.
