FAQs
What does 650gsm mean?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. 650gsm indicates a high-density, thick, and heavy fabric that is typically associated with high-end, premium towels.
Can I use bleach on these towels?
No, bleach will damage the Pima cotton fibers and cause the blue color to fade or streak.
How often should I wash these towels?
It is recommended to wash your towels after every 3 to 4 uses, provided they are allowed to dry completely between uses.
Are these towels suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Pima cotton is known for its long, soft fibers, making it much gentler on the skin than standard cotton varieties.
Why does it take a long time to dry?
Because of the high 650gsm density, the towel holds more water to provide better absorbency, which naturally increases the time required for it to air dry compared to thinner towels.
Troubleshooting
Towel is not absorbing water well
This is often caused by residue from fabric softeners. Wash the towel without softener, potentially adding a half-cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to strip away build-up.
Towel feels stiff or scratchy
Ensure you are not using too much detergent and avoid line-drying in direct, harsh sunlight, which can cause fibers to harden. Tumble drying on low with wool dryer balls can help fluff the fibers.
Loose threads appearing on the surface
Do not pull loose threads, as this can cause unraveling. Instead, carefully snip the loose thread at the base with a pair of sharp scissors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Pima cotton towel, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Wash: Always wash the towel before first use to remove any manufacturing residue and to prime the cotton fibers for maximum absorbency.
- Laundering: Wash with similar colors in warm water using a mild detergent. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as they leave a waxy coating on the cotton fibers that significantly reduces absorbency over time.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Over-drying at high temperatures can cause the cotton fibers to become brittle and lose their softness.
- Maintenance: Avoid contact with household chemicals, such as skincare products containing benzoyl peroxide or household bleach, as these can cause permanent discoloration of the blue fabric.
